Need rim opinions!

So 4-5 days ago I finally ordered the rims I wanted. I picked out 17in Konig Lightnings in white powder coat. Unfortunetly today I got an email from discount tire direct (the place i got them from) and they told me that their is an 8-12 week national back order on these rims and even if I wait the 8-12 weeks their is no guarantee that I will actually be able to get these rims. So I have narrowed the rims I would get instead to 2 choices. I need some opinions becuz I am torn between these two rims.

Drag 55: White Machined Lip
White powder coat with a glossy finish and a machined lip.


Konig Illusion: Black/Ball Cut Machined
Black finish with machined spoke grooves.

I don't like either although I really dislike wheels that have more than one bolt pattern. So the second ones.

Black wheels on a white car is over done, I think the 55s will look really nice.

I wouldla voted for the konigs but my phone HATES polls. But it because they are probably lighter, and dont have extra lug holes. But i agree black on white (and yellow) is overdone. White would look good imo.

XXR wheels are the wrong bolt pattern. I learned the hard way by ordering the brand new 530s to learn the bolt pattern of the XXR wheels are 5x100
