Neon Green

It might be a bit over played but I'm thinking about going with neon green powdercoat on the wheels. I have a WRB BRZ, thought?

do it, then you to could be as swag as this guy.

Ok seriously, if you're asking for opinions mine is that you should go back to the drawing board and come up with something better. That look doesn't work for me.

Plastidip my friend. Then when the look gets old, or you, you can just peel it off.

The neon looks so "try hard" to me but it's up to you. I think a nice bronze or white in a certain spoke design would set the subaru blue off nicely.

If the wheels have thin spokes like what hushypushy posted, then no. That looks pretty bad. But if it's the think spokes like on the Preza above me, then that would look pretty decent IMO. But I think gold would go A LOT better with the WRB on the BRZ/FRS.
