For some reason your pics cannot be seen.

I can see them. I really like the twilites, they look similar to my Rota Subzeros but with more spokes. THe blue lip concerns me though because it's tough to match blues. Had I known the Subzeros were going to be so hard to find in white, I would have waited and these (with the red lip though) would have been perfect!

That said, don't learn my lesson the hard way. Replace the OEM brake pads with low dust ceramic pads, otherwise the white will get nasty in a hurry.

I've got some white wheels I'm going to post for sale here real soon. You might be interested. Here is a link to some pics of my car.

The color strip concerns me too. It looks very close to the Electric Blue. They only problem with the knonig is that they are 17x7 as the rota's are 17x7.5. I know its only 1/2 inch but I'd like to go a little wider.

That picture was from last year. I changed my pads (with mintex) 3 weeks ago and shocked my wheels are still white.

I vote for Rota RB. The white with polished lip will be unique.

White wheels look good on your car. I'd go for the white.

I think I saw the Konigs in a Tire Rack ad a few days ago. I really liked them.

That blue stripe looks more like a Hyper or Lightning blue to me. You could always go with a contrasting color stripe...red would be good. Orange would look good too, but doesn't seem to be an option.

Did you ever decide? I'm curious as to what the white RB's with a polished lip would look like. I was thinking about getting all white RB's but went with the white Rota Grids.
