So, we think that many people will want to know which color of rims will suit white cars the most.

Let's get started!

What are the best wheel colors for a white car?

So, we've already told you that almost a quarter of all cars are white in the US. This was an amazing fact which surprised us. But you just need to look outside and you'll see that white, black, silver, and grey from nearly 90% of all cars outside. Unfortunately, not all people understand how to combine colors and they spoil their gorgeous white vehicles with inappropriate rims.

Want to know more about the best combinations? We are going to tell you more about that.

White car on grey or silver rims

Grey and silver rims are the most popular. Nearly all production wheels that all cars are equipped with when they are produced are silver. This is a universal color that suits all vehicles and can be installed on any car at all.

We think, it's not about the universal color, but about the conventional rim design. We've got used to the fact that nearly all rims on the cars are silver. Sometimes they are grey. This helps manufacturers to not care much about the rim design and not bother with designs of the wheels for each color of their cars.

White car on white rims

This is the classic of tuning. Your vehicle is going to look so sleek and fresh, just like a bride looks like on the wedding day. OK, it's not suitable for all kinds and types of cars, but for the majority of passenger cars, this will still be a very good idea.

Putting your white car on white rims, you will get a headache from washing your vehicle every single day. Do you know why silver rims are standard for nearly all car manufacturers? Because they are completely practical - the particles of dirt and dust are not seen there until they build up to a thick layer. With white rims things are different and you should be ready for this.

White car on bronze or golden wheels

Bronze is a color that suits many other colors and is very popular for rims. If you have a luxury sedan or a new-design pickup truck in white color, you will love the way it looks like on bronze rims or even on golden wheels.

The secret is that these colors really match well with white. Of course, you will have to consider the design of the rims, but in most cases, it will be OK. Bronze is better because it doesn't look like you want to make a piece of gold from your car.

White car on gunmetal rims

Gunmetal rims are very popular. But be careful when you want to use them with your white vehicle. Not all kinds of design will be OK. Sometimes, the gunmetal rims look bad on white cars because they were initially created for dark-colored cars.

Though, you can put gunmetal rims on your white car. One type of design will be particularly good - the one with many thin spokes or with z-shaped spokes. These wheels look good, but you will also need some gunmetal elements on the body of your white car. It's important, otherwise, your vehicle will look just like you've stolen wheels from another car.

White car on black rims

Now, a hard part starts. You will not be glad about the results if you just install the black rims on your white vehicle. They will look alien in this car. You will have to prepare your vehicle. For example, you will need to clean off all chrome and then paint these parts black.

If you have a lot of black elements like black side mirrors, black stickers, black decorative elements, tinted windows, black door handles, etc., you will get a wonderful design. This way, the black rims will look very nice on your white car.

Bright-colored wheels (green, yellow, blue) for your white car

We are against such experiments, but you may try. The problem is that you will have to do a lot of styling. For example, you will have to add some bright elements of the same color to your interior. Without this, your car will look like an artificially colored parrot. Also, styling elements outside your car are important.

We know a lot of cases when people overdo with those styling elements and paint many parts of their vehicles in bright colors. But eventually, they get a very funny-looking car that is absolutely not good. And the bright rims will kill this design. So, you have to be a very artistic person to make your white car look good with bright rims.

What are the worst colors of rims for a white car?

Many people think that white cars are like empty canvas. You can create any design using any color you want. But we don't agree with that. We, on the contrary, think that white cars are very demanding in terms of colors and styles. These vehicles may look bad if you don't make them look good. And one of the most important features is the rim color.

We prepared some ideas that you should never use in your white cars because the combinations may be extremely bad-looking:

1. White car on green rims. Green and white don't go well together. If you want to have a white car, you should avoid using green styling elements and rims. They will just look awful and spoil the design of your vehicle.

2. White car on blue rims. You may think - this is the natural combination of blue skies and white clouds. But no, it's a very conventional combination that looks pretty bad on a car. Blue rims will look as if they have been taken from another car.

3. White car on pink rims. For us, this is the worst option you can opt for. Pink rims look good only with a few colors of cars, so avoid buying them even if you have some other styling elements in pink colors.

4. White car on red wheels. Well, this may be OK if you have some other red elements and also if your car is a sports car, active hatchbacks like Fiesta ST or Volkswagen GTI. But if it's a Focus sedan or something like that, this aggressive combination will look awful.

5. White cars on orange wheels. The orange color of wheels will be cool for a black car or for an orange car. But if you put orange wheels on a white car, you are likely to get problems. This may look pretty bad.

We are sure there are other options of bad color combinations. But these are the worst we could find. We hope you will not choose them after looking at our examples.

Of course, every single vehicle is unique and it can be OK with some unexpected colors of rims. But we are now thinking about an average situation. If you still find that your white car looks good on pink or blue rims, let it be that way. The main idea of this argument is that you should love the way your car looks.

Does rim design change something?

Sometimes, you can see a very good combination of colors like white cars and gunmetal wheels, for example. But it still looks bad because the owner of this car didn't spend much time when he or she was choosing the rim design. This is a very important factor.

Sometimes, the proper design will compensate for a bad color combination. Make sure your vehicle looks good on the type of rims you are willing to buy.

Final words

We love custom-built cars. We love when car owners buy special unique rims and make their vehicles look nice. But we hate when people spend thousands of dollars and then they are disappointed with the results.

That's why we've prepared a small instruction for you on some color combinations for a white car. Now, your rim choice should be a little better and easier.
