Default CGM and White Wheel??

Hey guys I need help here... I have been wanting these wheels for a while.. They are the Enkei RC-T4 Tarmac I can get a pretty good deal on 17x8.5 but they are White or Bronze I love White wheels but my STI is CGM and I have searched like crazy and never found a CGM with White Wheels and I am not sure on Bronze... I was thinking of debaging and doing some White STI logos to help but here is a sample of a white wheel its not the rc-T4 but its a white enkei..



and here is my car

Uuuuh??? I would say paint them somewhere before installing. White would not look that great unless you do some kind of white theme on your ride.....but I can't imagine what would look better than your STi plain like that. Try to photoshop it.

I think white does look good on silver but just keep in mind that white wheels are a pain to keep clean

So should I pull the gun on these 17x8.5 48mm offset Enkei RC-T4 ?? I figure if they look that bad I can always powder them in the future like Black or something..

SO here is the choice the super nice Enkei RC-T4 which are kind of rare and they are white.

OR

Enkei RPF1 in a 17x8.5 40mm offset in silver cause blacks aren out till like October.

Not sure if the RPF1 will fit I have RCE Blacks and run a 245/40/17 tire?

So what do you guys think since I want to order these wheels asap. Thanks guys
