Default Will white rims with white stripes look ricey?

Hey everybody I have a 2005 screaming yellow mustang gt. I am planning on getting white stripes all the way down the car and was just wanting to get everybodys opinion on white rims. I like the bullit style rims but want a little bigger than these 17 inch ones that are pictured here. If everyone could put in their two cents in on this combo being ricey or not I would appreciate it. Thanks.

It is not my taste. Makes me think of the steel jeep wheels of the 70s and 80s.

I am trying to picture it, but I just can't. I have never seen white rims on a Yello "Stang that I can think of, so I am afraid to say one way or the other. One thing is for sure, it would be unique and set yours off. Though, since you are questioning how it will look I suggest you post up a picture of you car and the wheel together and see if someone can photoshop the stripes and wheels so we can form a better opinion, but the only opinion that really matters is yours, its your money.

That's just wrong, very wrong.
But getting back to stangx2, while I don't think the wheels themselves look bad, I don't see them on a screeming yellow GT.

I look at it this way. If you have to ask then it probably will.

Go here: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/artma...epainter.shtml

Select your color and stripes and see how it looks. Yellow/white is not catching my eye but I can see it with white rims. Not bad.

I have to say yellow with black stripes seem to catch my eye the most. Black tint to match and chrome wheels.

I think the white and yellow would be a bit odd. I've seen white rims on a lot of older stangs, with red, white, blue, paint - and they look good. Now, if you had them painted yellow to match the car.....that might look really tough.

Of course, I have strange tastes and anything out of the ordinary gets at least one vote just for being different.
