I think it depends on the car colo(u)r and the wheel style. Ours is Chili Red / White roof and I think the 5 spoke 16" wheels we've got are the right look for the car. They do show brake dust, but they're not hard to clean. I put wax on them to help shed the dust and maybe help protect them from yellowing. I doubt the white will yellow - they must be designed to cope with heat and brake dust - but you never know I suppose.
