TBH I was surprised because I thought that all those wheels in all there colours looked good on that car.....love the colour (Mica red?nice eitherway
).
Imo I think I'd go for the athracite as they're going to stay cleaner for longer than the white, won't be as dark as the black & so many people have gold wheels on Subarus that it would be nice to have something different from that. Goodluck

I have just painted these last week. (not for a scoob, please don't throw up pmsl!)
They are only a few months old, but salt had managed to get under the lacquer on the machined outer lip, i was going to strip them down and lacquer then properly, but when i inspected them i noticed that the corrosion i was sanding smooth, was leaving a different finish from the original machined type finish.
So i got out the colored enamel paint instead.

IMO it looks fantastic when the centers were painted RAL 7016 anthracite. (again using enamel paint)
