Just bought an 07 Gallardo Spyder!!!
I just pulled the trigger on an 07 Gallardo Spyder. After narrowing it down to a new 997tt (too common) F430 (couldn't bring my self to pay over a quarter million dollars for a car) The Gallardo seemed like the perfect choice. Plenty of look, somewhat dependable and a bargain next to the f car. I went with White/black, e-gear. Getting the windows and lights tinted Monday. The question I have is: I am dying to paint the factory callisto wheels white. It seems that everybody is doing black or grey. I think white wheels would look awesome with the white body, black roof and tint. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Oleg. Ps. I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it.
I think I figured out how to add pics. let me know what you think, Oleg.

White's a great color. White wheels, though, I'd have to see in a photoshop. The last car I remember that looked great in white w/ white wheels was the last-generation Saleen Mustang.
But, congrats on the purchase, mate.

congrats on the purchase...
too much white can be a little 80's , the callistos have good depth , maybe consider doing white with black trim on some part of the wheel..
hey if you really want nice contrast check out our CF CS600 aero kit for the G.. I have been dying to get one on a white car

"Everyone" may be doing it, but metallic gunmetal is IMO still the way to go on the wheels.

congrats on the new whip, maybe even satin black centers with a white pinstripe around? Anyway make sure to paint the lights NOT tint them. I painted mine on my P and my friend tinted his Gallardo, Tint on the lights is awefull!
