midland wheels do white ones with a blue lip, think they would look pretty good
and i have 5x12 plain white supalights from huddersfield spares on 165 tyres with standard arches :(

it depends on what wheels you use as to whether you need arch mods, revolutions don't have much of a dish on them so you might get away with it, but ultralites are quite deep and will require arch mods to fit, you can get away with whatever colour though, my personal choice would be silver 10" minilights or if you want 12" then silver ultralights.

Silver or satin black.

White wheels always look a bit like white stillettos on a woman, IMHO.

I'd go for black to be honest I do like white wheels but you'll be constantly cleaning them and if it's a daily driver it'd start to get annoying.

I've got a blue mini on 165/60/12 but with group 2 arches (still small) if you want some pictures?
