i like the anthracite ... although the gold with a pollished rim would be good. Like the RS GT wheels

agree with keeping white wheels clean, look rubbish unless they're spotless, that's why i got rid of mine and got anthracite!!!!!
the wheels look good as it's a big contrast

voted white (seems to be the 'new black' at the moment)
gold close second as gold seems to go well with red for some reason

Very easy choice based on the colour of your car
Subtle choice is anthracite and the best for that colour
But if you want to stand out then go for the other colours that are more 'in your face' on that car

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.
Looks horrible in silver and blue
IMO it looks fantastic when the centers were painted RAL 7016 anthracite. (again using enamel paint)
So i vote for a red outer lip with the inners painted anthracite
