Default 20" WHITE Wheels......(Long Post)

I sort of like to go just a little against the norm. Just a little. Last Thursday I bought a 2013 White STX with the factory 18" wheels. I would like to get some larger wheels and tires on it. My Wife HATES the blacked out wheel look. Oh BTW, I am close to 52 yrs old so the lowered or jacked up look isn't needed or wanted. I have been looking on line and can't find anything that I like or my budget will accept. I am leaning towards finding a new 20" OEM set and having them powder coated White. Are there any problems that could occur doing this? Does anyone know where a set might be purchased?
Any other wheel recommendations? Thanks in advance.

FYI, I added the black tail lights and head lights this morning, will be installing wheel well liners and mud flaps tomorrow, and next week I will be removing the center jump seat and installing a console unit that I purchased off of ebay.

Just IMO..but I think that would look awful. What about chrome wheels with white accents?

I think that would look pretty good, a bugger to keep clean though.i've always been partial to white rims. According to the owners manual the oem rims have a clear coat finish. That will need to be removed prior to powder coating for best results.

doesn't Ford offer a 20" white wheel?

I did all 4 wheels with one can = 5$ of plastidip

I know its black but 2 cans of white will get you the look you want. and if you don't like it, its reversible,
