Personally id say go gunmetal or if you have the money, black chrome is my personal favorite. With the color your car is white wouldnt really look good in my opinion. Gunmetal would match is pretty good and you can have a local shop powdercoat it for an affordable price. Black chrome is more money but i personally i really like the way it makes the wheel look.
