Hi guys
My car is currently getting a much needed respray in Lexus Ultrasonic Blue.
It currently has these wheels.
I am looking for thoughts/advice on what people think would be the best colour for the wheels once it's finished.
I was thinking brilliant white or something like that would really make them stand out, but I'm definitely open to ideas!

I always find that Antracite/Gun Metal Grey works nice. Toyota's Decuma Grey is a good colour to match.
Re: Advice - Wheel colour after respray
Dark wheels look good with blue IMO
Re: Advice - Wheel colour after respray
Shadow Chrome. Not sure if it would work with those particular wheels mind. Could do worse than the white they're in at the moment
Re: Advice - Wheel colour after respray
Immediate thought was gunmetal
Re: Advice - Wheel colour after respray
Black, with a black roof to match

Wheels very like mine...
I'd keep em silver, gold or gunmetal. Try some photoshopping before you decide.

I've got a blue car and silver wheels - looks good IMO
Gunmetal would probably look even better tbh and would be my colour choice if I was going to respray

It has to be white.

Here's my colour scheme and I wouldn't change colours at all

Re: Advice - Wheel colour after respray
Thanks for all your thoughts so far guys!
It's a tough decision because it's quite a dark blue and I'm not sure whether in your face WHITE! Would compliment or distract away from the colour, whereas gunmetal may be too subtle! Altho the decision may be made for me as i have Carbotech disks and pads! LOTS of brake dust, so a darker colour is probably better!

White isn't too garish. i'll be doing my rev 5 wheels in white soon, similar car colour to yours, which appears basically carib blue.
