With a proper drop and aggressive fitment, I think either color could actually look cool. White would be the safer choice though, especially for grids. I think it's easier to pull off wild finishes when it's an OG wheel w/factory finish. Tom's SC430 is an example of this actually working IMO:

Quick update on my car. Not quite done yet, still got some little rubbing issues going on, need the ride height and alignment dialed in, and my Racing Beat spoiler is in paint. More pics to come after CCM.
