White rims? Thoughts?

[bemax]

I would like white rims, to match the white (Scottish White?) roof, in particular because otherwise there is just too much of a ‘Sea of Black’ effect from the door sills on down.

Very good idea. I choose the black roof and not the white one to prevent this effect. But with white rims there’s a contrapoint to the roof

Maybe less effective but still "fixing" the issue ~ outside white lettering (OWL).

I have ordered Britannia Blue with white roof, and I seriously planned from the beginning to get the black steel rims white!

Hard decision b/w Britannia or Shale Blue!

White wheels will look good with either blue (Shale Blue truck in the image below). The powder-coating guys didn't quite match the Scottish White (too much red, IMO) but it still looks sharp.

That's nearly the first mod I did with mine. The wheel color, according to the coater, is "Almond" - but it matches the body color extremely well.

That said... The amount of brake dust is staggering. I have to power-wash my wheels at least once a week.

Here is what I ordered & am considering the 17" Owl Talon Scottish White wheels. Here is a mockup.

White top
Blue body
Black trim
Red bottom
I think green or gold rims might just finish it off

that is what I would refer to as 'collars and cuffs'

White wheels look good with certain body color combinations but you have to be careful with your choices. That said, adding white wheels to get that old-timey “Defender” farm vehicle look kinda reminds me of jean designers who distress their pants to make them look worn out but then charge your a fortune for them. Sort of the same with white wheels they can cost a fortune just to look retro.

I really like their Sixty wheels - wish we had a UK importer:

If a truck is Scottish White or has a Scottish White roof then, to my eye, any pure white accessories will look a bit off. (If it's not Scottish, it's crap?)

There are some here who have shared pics of steel rims they had painted Scottish White and I think they look great. I don't know if anyone has successfully matched Scottish White to a powder coat or to vinyl for wrap or accents either.

I powder coated my steelies (Prismatic Powder RAL1013 Gloss) which match really well with the Scottish White roof on mine. I also bought some alloys (Nomad Convoys in Salt) to mount my Hakkapeliittas on, which are more of a pure white and are not really a match. But I am just using them for my snows so do not really care that much...
