    silver. black/gunmetal on white = not my style :)
    i like my black girls clean and my white girls dirty.
    doesn't matter either way they're all out to hurt me.

    Exactly. With you're color car I'd stick with a very nice clean silver.

    I have gunmetal. But I think the standard silver stock S4 look would be best on a white car.

    Here's a few pics of mine:

    Don't paint the black. IMO, black wheels on a pearl white car is not going to match. I would say silver or maybe paint them pearl white also, but i dunno.

    we all have different opinions, i just think black powdercoated wheels would look mean on a white car, especially lowered.

    well ben, i think the super's would look good on any color car, but s4's, not a good match. IMO not the right style rim to go with the dark look with that color car. definately stick with silver.

    yea i think gunmetal is a sick ass color and would look damn good on pearl white. my brother will be getting some colored wheels for his pearl a4. i would go with gunmetal, but polished is interesting me right now. i would like to see what it looks like.

    I do like black, but in this case I'd go silver. Keep the classic look nice and clean!

    I'd go stock silver. Especially on pearl. If it was casablanca white, I'd probably go gunmetal, but not on pearl.

    Wax the rims before you mount them to make it harder for the dirt to settle

    i've never seen polished s4 wheels... anyone got a pic of one? how much would that cost to do and would it peel off or flake over time?

    i would have to go with the stock color/finish. painting em black would just give them a no-hubcap look, but that's just my opinion. on the other hand, black wheels with polished lip is still tight, but since you have no lip, i'd go with silver.
