lose the gold strip (I'm assuming you mean pin stripe?) and chrome is the best way to go. if you live in an area with TONS of potholes, you might want to stay away from the larger wheels. 17's might be the best in that scenario. But if you live in an area with excellent roads, try for the 18's, maybe even 19's if the budget is right.

chrome sucks on our cars no matter what color the car or size of the rim, they just don't look good in my opinion. There are a lot of color coordinated cars around here, example; White car with white rims, black and black, and so on and i think they look awesome. If i were you I would either go with white or black. Chrome sucks, gold is ugly, and silver wouldnt match your car. White would look awesome and would match great and black would be a nice contrast. Just my $.02

there are some wheels out there w/ gold accenting on the rims, i think that would look pretty nice /shrug, but only if you want to keep the gold theme going

My opinion-Ditch the gold pinstripe. Tint the windows really dark, like 20%. Paint the calipers black, then get some gunmetal rims to set it off. Maybe even black overlays to go over the doorhandles to tie it all together.

no matter what rims he goes with, if the car isnt lowered, they arent going to look very good. |

Ditto
I also think that 17s sometimes look better than 18s. And IMO, 19s look too big

Well I like chrome,,, But on a white car I think a black or gun metal rim with a chrome or polished lip would be SWEET

I say chrome 18's. If you want to see any example of white rims on a white car there is one on here. I forgot he drives it.
