    Hello everyone!!!

    I am shopping for aftermarket rims for my new car that I am picking up this Friday. 18" -19"

    I am hoping to get your opinions. The car will be white [Blizzard Pearl to be exact].

    Should I get silver or black rims?

    I am currently looking at the Advanti Fastco

    Silver:

    Black:

    What type of car are we talking here, and id you take tire prices into consideration when you decided to go big? If you name the car and colour, it will help give you suggestions.

    Usually:

    Silver rims for Winter
    Black rims for summer with red brake pads

    For example:

    It's going to be on a 2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6

    Color: Blizzard Pearl [white]

    I am going to use my oem rims [17"] as winters. Looking for 18" or 19" for summers

    I love black, but on a white car it doesn't work as well as the silver does.

    Yay for new cars, congrats!

    I will be trying to wash the car as much as possible to keep the rims clear of brake dust
