White w/no trim rings.

1. Lose the whitewalls. Sell them. Give them away.
2. Paint the wheels a darker shade of blue than the body. That blue on the body needs something with some bling. White wheels just don't do it. White caps belong on the ocean, or on an absolutely stock, restored vehicle.
3. Use shiny hubcaps, preferably chrome, not aluminum. Those aluminum caps look like Astro or S-10 caps. If you could find a set of '69 passenger car caps, run those. They're similar in profile to the aluminum caps, but have hash marks on four sides of the cap that resemble slots, but are not open.
4. Run trim rings that still show some wheel color. Hot rod style comes to mind. But a rallye wheel style trim ring would work, too.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
