Wheel Options help!! TB IX

Hi Guys ,
I don't post much on here but I figured I might get some help from the evo community. I have a TB Evo that I love, and my primary goal is to keep the car Clean looking. Finally where need your opinions are that I'm torn on what to do about my wheels.

Right now on the car I have Work XD-9 17x9.5.

My options are:

Leave them Alone just the way they are?
Paint the wheels..(suggest color) I was thinking White ?
Sell/ Trade these for some MR BBS's since I am in love with them?

All negative and positive comments/opinions are appreciated.

Thank you!

The look you have now is clean.

You could get a set of X wheels, either the GSR or BBS.

I would not paint them white...you will be amazed how dirty they'll get.

Leave them as is or swap them for some MR BBS's....

The only thing I would suggest, other then leaving it alone, would be spacers. Other than that, it looks excellent.

That gold works well with black, but I would suggest getting rid of the red lugnuts though.

Unless you're into the McDonald's look?

Haha the Lugnuts are red because the calipers i red, when I repaint the calipers i will get new lugs.

Either one of the BBS wheels would be my choice grey or the diamond black.

As far as spacers, I'm not a spacer fan and with spacers i wouldn't be able to use 255 tire setup.

Again thanks for all the replies... also does anyone know roughly how much i should ask for on top of BBS's for trade with these (just wheels no tires trade)? Rims are all perfect except for one with a 2 inch curb mark..
