silver and white is a big no no combo imo. spray/powdercoat them black for the best contrast on a silver car

Have you seen a silver classic on silver Milleniums? It looks superb and I hope to get some for mine at some point.

I personally hate black wheels on silver cars, but each to their own.

I like white wheels on silver - they compliment each other.

A member on here had a set of white 6-spokes/silver classic and it looked great!

I got to like the combo when watching the WRC:-

Yeah, they're WRC cars, so lots of livery unfortunately.

still get the rough idea

an i think they look pretty good tbh

maybe the saloon shape doesnt suit them? they really seem a very unpopular choice on subarus

They don't look nice in sliver and they are nightmare to keep clean and it would change colour over time...

My winter wheels are standard Impreza Sport alloys which I sprayed in white (the rattle cans were cheap!) Looks pretty good on a silver wagon imo - bit of a rally slag look as above. They don't look good when mucky though - not very handy for winter wheels!
