Default White wheel on Salsa Red, opinions? pics?

I am expecting a SRP xB soon and I was considering 17" white wheels. I have seen it done on a few Hondas I think, but not sure about the box. Anyone have any opinions on this or do you have any pictures of this being done already? Sorry for the repeated post if this has been asked. Thanks SL friends!

Maybe you can photoshop my car salsa red?

I will admit, white is tough to clean.

Personally, I think white five-star wheels would look good on Salsa Red. If it were my car, I'd go with silver, though.

Okay Here's a quick photoshop...not quite Salsa red, I know, but it's close.


Salsa red with white wheels.


Salsa red with white wheels after driving down the street.

If you get white wheels, you'll be carrying wipes in your car everywhere...or just give up and have crappy dirty wheels.

They are hard to keep clean but if you wax them at least once a month most stuff washes off. I have white on my RS3.0 and I like the contrast look.

I think it'll set off the Salsa nicely - but I agree with everybody else - they are hard to keep clean.

If you want to be different, try gold. Not a fan of white on anything but white,
that is unless you have white accents, like a white roof.

Listen to 2tone. Gold or even bronze. There are a lot to choose from and I think it will make the car look more classy than flashy.

I agree with the gold/bronze thing. The Salsa Red is more of a 'wine' color...the gold could really bring out some different highlights in the paint.

If it was a more pure red color, I'd really like the white. In the end, it's all personal taste.

I think they'd be hard to keep clean. But if you can maintain em I say go ahead.

I usually like white wheels on white cars myself. I do have to say that the photoshop photo isn't half bad, but it's tough to see with the primer style lack of gloss. Someone up there nailed it tho, the Salsa is more wine, and I think it probably mix as well as wine with tequilla. Have you seen the smoked finish on the 18" Enkie's for the tC? I think that would look bangin.

Now if it were Fire Engine red....that would be a different story all together.

It's actually not too bad looking...I did the closest combo I could find on tirerack.com and it looked okay with white:
