To be a bit different I fancy a set of white straigh spoke (multi) on my 05 WRB scoob.

Look good I think. Suppose they will be inclined to show up chips and probably a bugger to clean.

They will be forever dirty looking, but maybe that is all part of the image? A hard driven Impreza?
I race against an EVO v with white wheels and he says he will never have them again (his car is always prestine), so if you want to shine all the time, no white wheels!

Personally, I love them on white cars, find them ok on red cars depending on the car and its mods, but think that they make other colour cars look cheap.

There is a black celica near me with white wheels and it looks so c*!p.

Edited to say: I had white celica with white compomotive MO motorport wheels on and thought they looked fantastic - they were no harder to keep clean than any other colour wheel and I think it depends more about the style/design of the wheel than the colour.

You pay your money and take your choice !!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

White on white looks great.
Black/graphite also good.
Blue gold = traditional
Blue anthra' wheel = P1 only

Your car, your choice.

Dead right about anthra' wheels always looking dirty! My P1 wheels look scruffy even after a good dose of Wonder Wheels cleaner.
It's good to be different from the herd.
