complete silver wheels.
white with a polished lip (as long as the white matches your car)
chrome
silver with polished lip


Im not a big fan of black rims on a white.

Whats your style?

From a practical standpoint, consider brake dust and road grime on the white painted surfaces of the wheel. Unless you clean frequently, I think you may be happier with a non painted surface, or one that is silver that shows the dirt less. Cars I have seen with white painted wheels start looking pretty dingy.

A machined face wheel might be an option as well depending on what look your going for.

Aside from the fact that it is totally illegal on both a federal and state level, the best thing might be to get a film. There is plenty of discussion on the internet about the difficulties with high color temperature lights, and the science and manufacturing difficulties behind halogen capsules with high color temperature.

Here is a film example, not that you should necessarily from these guys, but they have a good website. If you leave your fogs on all the time, there is some talk about the halogens burning the film in other cars, not sure how the RL is.
