I thought white wheels went out of fashion with white socks.
Gold is old school but very much of it's time.They look retro now. Ok if that's the look you're going for but only on a car from that period.

I don't think any manufacturer now has white or gold as an option & hasn't for a long time, if ever.
I would go for a mid to darker alloy colour

If it was the wife asking
which shoes I would just say any, but yours is a very hard one, and I'm in the same boat trying to decide colour for mine.

I know.Not to my taste.I was trying to explain why,in general,I don't like gold or white.I think Subaru/Subaru owners need to move on.White & gold are all a bit 'old hat' for me.
Unless your car came with them when new & you want to keep it standard.

I think that the silver look better in your photo... IMO
But Ive seen a couple of blue cars with anthracite which look nice too...
Have you decided yet?
