I was lookin at those same wheels. Not sure how the white will look on the Hot Lava though. Since the hot lava isnt a real "orange" has a hint of like a burnt color to it. It could go both ways could look awesome or might not look quite right. Very nice wheel choice though! If worst comes to worst you could always paint them another color.

I tend not to like white wheels on anything. Metals should be painted metallic colors, imo.

Due to the radical appearance of a "deep dish" I may just try it, but I think I will find one to paint them the same color as the car :D

I had white wheels once, would never get 'em again. They are almost like a black car, hard to keep clean.

white wheels would look hot as shyt on the lava. i had thought about purchasing m@ wheels. depending on the finish quality they can be as easy as any other wheels to clean. it just takes more attention than others seeing as how brake dust is black and most wheels are darker in color hiding the brake dust better than a light wheel. i say do it if you will keep up the wheels no if you drive a lot and don't clean you vehicle much. btw with the white wheels you would be even more unique in your lava. you might want to take that into consideration too.
