Default need help choosing wheels for my 09 Si

I own an 09 Si its Rally Orange Pearl and i wanted to see if you guys can give me some opinions. I was thinking of getting either the Enkei RPF1's in silver or black, the buddy club sf in gunmetal or matte black, or the Rota Grid Racing in gunmetal or bronze. I'm having trouble choosing a color that will match with the car. if you guys have any other wheels you can suggest that would be cool

Here are pictures of the Rotas and the buddy clubs i'm sure everyone knows what the enkei's look like.

RPF1, in SBC if you can find it. Better yet, check out the new PF01.

Are th rotas and buddy clubs compatible with the tpms sensors? I want to buy wheels in the future but I don't want to loose my tpms sensors and have the light on on the dash. I know the rpf1 are compatible. Anyone know if works/volks/gramlights are compatible. To stay on topic, get the rpf1's. Those are the ones I would get. 17x8 or 9 +35/+38 I believe. In black aswell

I think the SBC color would be perfect with your car color.

I think the rota grid racing in gunmetal would look good with your color car.
