I think they will look great on a darker car but will always look dirty on White, stock looks great.

Cheers

+2 i think the stock silver 172's on Alpine White is the BEST OEM combo you can get.....never thought i would want a white car until i saw a guy near my offcie driving his E60 with 172's...now i am converted.
