Talking Enkei WRC Tarmac Evo on blue

Finally put them on this weekend, 17x8, 35 offset. The only complain I have so far is they didn't come with center caps, so I had to search around quite a bit to find a set that fits (spent $130 to get a set of TE37 center caps and they didn't fit )
Also a warning to anyone who is thinking about getting white rims, the break dusts will get any kind of white rims look real dirty in half a day.

They look great but how fast will it look dirty. I was thinking about getting white wheels as well but I notice the brembos gives out a lot of dust, so now I am looking at black wheels.

White is too Civic Looking, Gunmetal would be best for a Blue EVO.

Looks kinda awkward if you don't lower it. After I lowered mine it looked much better.

maybe it's the thickness of the spokes...? or that the whole wheel is white...? i'm just not feeling it too much...

all the Civic comments...? there are more Civic rolling around with gunmetal than white fellas, cause white was played out a long time ago, and now gunmetal is kinda getting played out too...

I have the TEIN flex ($1,500) from Vivid (not the greatest, the box they came in was held together with scotch tape and my anti rust can was punctured and had no anti rust left in it.) I'm not sure how many inches, I just kept lowering it until it looked good I wanted to get this look...
