Not like it's really "rice" or anything, but it's been too overdone. Usually white wheels on a red car or any car for that matter is normally associated with show cars. Therefore...
Show cars = rice according to those standards in some cases. I'd say just go with whatever looks decent to you. I personally like bronze or gunmetal wheels on a red car.

White rims on red cars look very good IMO. But have you thought about a dark anthrecite (gun metal) instead? Even when your rims are dirty, you can't see the brakedust. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
I have white rims on a white car. They get dirty in a matter of minutes. Looks good, but requires a lot of elbow grease, and patience.

brake dust would be MUCH more noticable with white rims than it would with gunmetal gray ones.

well, my definition of "ricey" is someone trying so hard to make their car look good by using cheap ass shit or slap on things that just dont look right.
in this case for the white rims, i would love them and i would think they are fine.

White rims look tight as #### on red cars. TE37s would look very yum yum. I was thinking of some, but I don't want to have to deal with dirt/brake dust.

Well I had White 17's on my old prelude (red), and some kids walked by and started screaming "GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!!!" needless to say I got rid of the rims 2 weeks later (well I had a hard time catching up with Civic DX's as well)

I don't think it's ricey. If you're using the stereotypical definition of ricey, they're not ricey unless they're some cheap knockoffs of another brand. Doesn't matter what color they are.
