I've been debating whether to get wheels painted WDP for my car, too. Definitely haven't seen any pics of a WDP with WDP wheels, but would love to check one out. As for your question, go with the anthracite or chrome (call me ghetto, but I love a nice set of chrome wheels). Of course, you could get the white wheels so I could see what they look like...

The white wheel on white car thing is ricey and should be left to old Civics and the like. White wheels were once a cool think, but I think that they just end up looking cheezy... the contrast of a gunmetal or black wheel on white looks hot though

Definitely ricey, nothing wrong with ricey when it's a Civic but I'd leave it silver on a TL

i thought that white would look too ricey. but one day i was driving and saw a green rx8 with Hiro's painted green to match and it looked nice. the lip stays polished so it might not be too bad. i really want to dip them chrome but it might look too ghetto. I figure i cant go wrong with silver. if i dont like the color i cant just get them painted.
here is what they look the HIRO"S like in black on WDP

That's tough...I love the 6 spoke look, but the lip on the Hiro is sweet. Why are 99.9% of 6 spoke designs with lips only for SUV's? Stupid wheel companies! Get the 6 spoke.

Chrome is so uncool.
There are exceptions of course like if you bought a Chevy Impala home boy. Hook it up with some 24 inch chrome rims. Rollin on dubs booooyyyyy. Yeah Yeah. I would get spinners and a chain to match. If you are driving an Acura you should try to have some class like rollin on ron jon's. Those AXIS rims are ok. But, mille miglia or Ron Jon would look way better. 19's if you are going for looks and 18s if you are going for looks and performance. The best for performance will be lightweight 17's with sticky rubber.

Well i can get the silver Hiro's in a week. the black ones are at leasta a month back ordered as well as the volks. damn this is tough! the prices i got from my local dealer are as follows.
hiro with tires- 2250(federal brand?) 200 extra for toyo proxes 4
volk te37- 3800 with tires.
now if the volks were the same price i would get them in a minute. but that extra 1500 could be used to drop my car and a few other mods.

I'd paint 'em WDP... simple because no one really has it... I mean, you see all kinds of black & anthracite wheels on WDP TL's. I have yet to see a clean WDP with WDP wheels. I saw a cream MBZ with matching Lowenharts, and it looked sick!! 
Everyone and their momma has black, silver, & anthracite on the WDP TL... I'd do the WDP wheels.
