Default Time for a wheel change, need opinions

First, here's the car:



Now, there are a few wheels that I'm interested in, but I'm open to suggestions. What do you guys think?

I'm leaning towards the Work Emotion CR's in white, but I hear the white ones aren't sold in the US and have to be special ordered. That's not really a problem, but I'm trying to get ready for a show in late September. Any body know of a shop or person that could get them?

Also, I'm a long-time fan of the RH Tuners, but I don't think they made them in 17 inches with a 5-lug pattern. Am I wrong?

Like I said, I'm open to suggestions, so if there's something you think would look good on the car, please speak up.

I know of at least one shop that can get them, and I found an online store that has them, too. I know I'm going to get screwed paying the premium for them in white, but that's fine. They're still likely to be cheaper than the LE28N's ($1950, no tires).

I've been searching for threads about them, and I hear that the CR's are heavy. Just to make it clear, I almost certainly won't be driving around on these daily. Whichever set I get, they'll be put on for shows, and then be taken off. I'm keeping the ones in the picture for street use.

EDIT: A photochop of the LE28N's someone made for me:



I don't know. I really like these, but judging from that, I don't know that they'd look good. Also, there's a guy I know who goes to a lot of the same events as me that has an EBP 5th gen, but he has the gold/polished lip GT-N's. I'm almost afraid of copying him.

Heres my opinion...if you can actually afford any of those wheels on that list...you really dont need opinions from people like us. All those wheels on that list would look and represent your car very well.
