I've seen a few White JKUs with white wheels and they've looked quite nice. One had used White steel 15" Wagon wheels and they were very good looking.

Default Body Colored Accents on Black Rims

Anyone have Rims other than the Mickey Thompson Classic Lock Wheels, that have a "appearance" lock ring that could be painted color match to the body. I was thinking that would be just the right amount of accent to a black on Crush appearance.

Is the worst idea ever.! Ever!

White wheels or any other body paint color match is just ridiculous and should not be allowed on a Jeep.

Class 2 felony punishable by up to 1 yr in jail and a $10000 fine.

X2 agreed. Less is more. If you color match your rims with your body you will look like a color blob cruising down the road. Accents are nice.
