White look great on your car imo. I'm not sure about the mud flaps though!

Ha. I was looking at your car the other day as it happens, and was admiring those white 18s.

Keep 'em as is!... Red (plus blue and black) body colour with white alloys looks great IMHO. Also I personally don't like 5 spokes on Subarus. I much prefer the 'rally' multispoke look - in keeping with what the car is all about.

The only 'non-multi' I like on a Scoob is the classic 92-96 WRC 6 spoke gold alloys with the chunky tapering spokes. I think the pukka wheel in question is a Speedline jobbie, but Revolution do an extremely similar design... ahh, here it is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza-STI-WRX-RA-New-8-x18-Revolution-Wheels_W0QQitemZ280249467661QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em280249467661&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|6 5%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.

Fantastic alloy with a lot of latent 'aggression' too it - look how cool it looks on that white New Age . If you wanted to be different, then I'd get those on your car but still retain the white i.e. respray 'em.
