I still enjoy the look of white wheels on purpose built vehicles (off road or rally). I think that white wagon wheels are a classic look and would look great on your blue Jeep.

Cragar and US Wheel have a lot of wagon style wheels available, but you'll need to buy an adapter so it'll fit the stupid 5x5 pattern of the stock axles.

If you want a different design, powder coating is a good option too, and there are a ton of textures and tints available.

I think any of the classic wheel designs would look good in white:
Black Rock 900
AEV Savegre
Pro Comp 7069, 7005
Rugged Ridge
Mopar 17" Winter/Off Road Steel Wheel
Stock Wheels
DC Torque

x2 what burbingus says I think that your all blue JK would look very cool with white wheels, maybe raclines, walker evans, or one of the newer styles that everyone has in flat/satin black might be a cleaner updated look over the 70's-80's Wagon wheels. Do some photoshop editing!

Edit: hell, my Walker Evans wheel in my avatar almost looks white!

Haha, I cheated, I ordered crager soft 8 blacks. I had gotten into a wreck and had them paint them Stone White when they fixed my jeep. Just the outside though. Inside half was left black so it wouldn't look cruddy white after awhile.
