The only white wheels that I have seen so far are the Volk TE37s (which are jaw-droppingly gorgeous on a white car!). Unfortunately, ~$3000 for a set kinda gives me sticker shock moreso than a new car. Does anyone know of some other white colored wheels that would fit our car and look good? Not breaking the bank would be a plus!

You can also go route b and find some wheels you like for cheap and have them painted/powdercoated white. Thats what I did with my Axis Milanos. Took them to a Wheels America (www.fixrim.com) shop here in Houston and got them done in black for $159 a wheel. A little pricey compared to other shops, but it comes with a lifetime guarantee. From what I remember they paint the wheel and then powdercoat the clearcoat. They came out excellent, but after 6 months noticed some chips on the front wheels. Took em back and they redid them under the warranty. I remember seeing way back someone painted their Hiro's NG, which looked good but i'm not sure how he went about it...

Tirerack finally has some white painted wheels for our car; Gram Lights 57Maximum: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

I am seriously biting at this right now... I'd like your opinions on how this wheel would look on a whitewater pearl. :D

Many of my local peers are swaying me away from white as well; one did mention gunmetal, while another some shade of silver. Paying less than $250 a wheel would be a Good Thing for my wallet. I still have a while before I actually decide to commit, so I guess I'll play with the vehicle view shopping @ TireRack.com some more.
