The other way around: 6000k is blue-ish, 8000k is borderline purple, and 12000k is purple. I'd say 6000k is pretty much the best you can go for without looking ricey -- perfect mix of white and blue.

I don't know about where you live but around here, if you have fake HID bulbs, you'll get pulled over. They won't be near as bright as the real HID.

The extreme whites aren't as white as they should be, they do infact have a yellowish look, especially compared to the HIDs. Definitely go with super plasma.

Keep in mind that the Super Plasmas are coated so they mimic the color output of HID. They may look like HID, especially in pictures, but they won't be as bright as a clear same wattage bulb, that will look like yellow to you. If you are going for looks, blue is fine. However, blue will hinder the fog lights performance.
