Hello. I have been a member of this forum for a while but I have yet to post much. I was thinking of getting some rims and I have been reading all the literature on how to choose the correct size. One daunting question that is at hand is what color my rims should be. I have the winterfrost altima sedan.

Any recommendations will be helpful

white ones would look good, or you can go with all black. don't do the black with chrome lip.

White won't look good because Winterfrost isn't really "white", it's a pearl. I have the same color and considered white wheels, but when they are next to the pearl it just doesn't look right...

I went to a tint shop in Tempe and they said chrome would best match it. I do want to do a black/white theme with chrome as the accent..idk. Do you know of any good sites with an app that lets you see how your car would look with any rim?

I have a winterfrost coupe too. I'm probably going with all black, or black with a red pinstripe. Chrome is way too flashy for me.

Here's some websites with a ton of wheels. There's not an application for you to put the wheels on your car, but it'll give you an idea of whats out there.

Too flashy for me too..do you have any accent lighting or something that goes well with the red pinstripe?

Umm..well my headlights and taillights are tinted. The rear light overlays have cutouts so there's some red showing through. But besideds that no red on my car. However, I plant to paint my calipers red to match the pinstripe. I just think most all black wheels don't stand out enough, so whats the point of wasting that much money on them? I want something different, but with a little pop of color.

white on black is the worst looking fad on earth.

gold/bronze would work on a sporty level.

chrome on a flashy level.

you can never go wrong with plain old silver.

machined/diamond cut on a classy level.

anything else is uncivilized.
