If you have a white car, I wouldnt go with white rims.. Cause the whites wont be identical..

If your car is white, go with silver or gunmetal rims IMO.

get gunmetal, because it will contrast your car.

To give you an idea of dark rims on a white car, here's a pic of a friend's car with my rims.

Personally, I think that white rims would look better on a white car.

I have a white 94 Accord EX, I just bought Tenzo R SHU-4's and they are white. White wheels on a white car looks amazing in my opinion. And the whites on my car are close enough that i can't tell, and no one else has mentioned it yet. I would definately recommend white wheels. I will have pictures of my car soon, and I will post them somewhere in the forums. I'll let you know when and where they are so you can see. I'll take a close up of the wheel/fender area for ya.

If they match exactly, then they look good. There's a white teg with big white wheels, tires slightly tucked, that drives around here and looks great.

if you like the white wheels make sure they are exactly the same color. they should be able to show you the rim and let you look at it next to your paint on your car.

Ok, go here and look at the last 3 pictures. the car is dirty since it has been raining alot and i havent been able to wash it, but you should get a good idea of white on white! More pictures to come BTW! As soon as the rain holds off.
