Default White rims on MBM?

I have a bunch of oxidation & pits on my rims so its time for new ones. Due to the color scheme of my car, the medium blue metallic with white details, I was thinking of putting white rims on it. Do you think that would look gay?

It would be different. Depends on the style of the rim I guess.

Chrome always looks good.

The whole wheel, or just the centers?
White or MBM centers would look best if the wheels you choose have noticable lips.
Otherwise do the whole wheel White or MBM.
Or,.... you could get some all black wheels.

I'm thinking solid white 5 spoke rims. Anybody know where to get 'em? All i can find is for ricers (maybe that says something against putting them on my car).
