only way to pull off white is with some good size fitting wheels. oem wheels on a stock body car wont look right in white.

a good gold is on the advan rg2's like this:

i say paint them black if anything. or keep them silver. these wheels dont look that good as a gold color. or you can do hyperblack. but if you can, keep them silver. you can even plasti-dip them the oem color if your heart desires.
