I think white would look good but stand out a lot. I used Duplicolor high temp engine paint available at most auto stores.

Hey, do you have any pictures of what it might look like? The stock GS-T 95/97 Rims painted white? Cause I was thinking about white rims too but i'm not sure if they would look right on my Dark green eclipse. Thanks

I like your gunmetal color with the blue car better than white would look IMO.
