I think you should stay with the white. Black looks great but it's hard to maintain. It's ultimately your choice.

Oh and yeah there are some pretty nice blues too!

There's a couple other colors that go well with the red interior too. Silver Frost is one. Candy Apple Red is another.

But all the OP asked was.... Black, White, or maybe Blue. He wasn't asking suggestions for other colors.

Black is beautiful but a bee-yotch to maintain. White is more forgiving and can still look awesome if done right.

Well, tough. He got something else to think about. Are we the color police today?

White on red is one of the best color combos ever produced!

Absolutely!! You could have a falling out BEFORE marriage! EVEN before engagement!

I love black but after maintaining black cars over the years I'd go with a light color. My grabber blue looks fairly clean when dirty and my truck can sit outside for weeks and still look clean (silver). I'd go white but like a bright, vibrant white not Wimbledon.

+1 on making your own decisions. Heck, my wife doesn't have any say in what I do other than what I spend. But apparently she doesn't think WHEELS are worth spending money on.

Years ago I worked with a guy that had a V12 XKE. His GF convinced him one of those awful 4 dr. T-Birds was just the ticket. He was so in love, did the trade. A couple weeks later she dumped him!
