White wheels on a white car looks nice but I could go with some subtle stripes of Flamingo Pink on the wheels and as accents elsewhere... I would follow that with a Turbocharger with water/methanol injection just to surprise anyone that might be thinking your car looked girly...

I love that pink flamingo. I vote for the entire wheel to be pink. The rest of the car is white, so even some subtle pin striping would look awesome. Please be sure to post photos of yhe finished project, whatever you decide. Too much pink on the body of the Cube and not enough on the wheels for me.

As a coater I obviously say coat them something! Are you coating them or having them coated? I actually just got done coating an intake pipe today in a pink.

However, if you are only wanting a spash of pink I think the wheels done entirely will be too much.

Prisma pink! Whole rim! If you decide its too much later you could mask the lips and paint the faces gunmetal. Or plastikote white on the faces so you'd have white faces with pink lip and accents and its not permanent. Hope that makes sense

I'll be having them coated by someone.

I would like to stand out! I'll get a quote from other places about the pinstripe so we shall see!

As it is at this point, you have a white piece of paper that you can put whatever you want on.... I'm for being conservative and doing something subtle and tasteful that couldn't be associated with any of the flash in the pan fad that will date the car to where your work will be called played out and labeled as being "ricer" a couple of years from now....

If you like the color and dont mind standing out where ever you go, then do it! I put some orange rims on my Fit for about a year. Alot of people said dont do it and it wont look good, others loved the wheels. At the end of the day though I loved how the car looked with the orange wheels.

I am with Wily Coyote on this one. Just a stripe. Or even better send me those wheels in plain old white.

I love a white wheel! I would leave them white but have them hand painted with a design in pink.

The rims came in and they have a silver lip. I absolutely detest silver so I am going to go ahead and powdercoat the lip and just the lip. When im all done I'll post results!

I agree. Just the lip only. Not the entire wheel.

Heres the result... (For now?!)

The tuner pink lugs didnt fit. But im okay with what I have now. Maybe I will powder coat, but right now I dont want to shell out another $400.
