With a white car, I'd say black if everything else (rims, headlights, tailights, tint, etc.) is blacked out. If they aren't, I say red. I have red on my silver GT with chrome wheels, and it looks great. I get lots of compliments on it, and I say go for it, regardless of what any of the nay-sayers say.

Not really, i'm betting a majority of us have painted/powder coated calipers. You didn't give a hint as to what your style is or what type of combos you might be interested in so we just started throwing colors out.

im not fan of black, because it doesnt stand out enough... if you want a really clean look, like its OEM, go black. if you want it to snag attention, i say white.

what about black with white letters? white with black letters? silver with black letters?

depends on what youre looking for...
i too have a white car. when i scrounge up enough money for a new set of rims, they will be 18" and white. im having a hard time deciding too, but im leaning toward blue.
as for you, cant go wrong with red. black will just clean them up, but not really make them stand out. cant rly tell what color ur rims are from the pic, but green actually might not look bad
