White would look awesome if you want to go that route. If you're looking for something along the lines of neon colors or anything it might be kinda tough since your car is red and that might clash a little.
Are you planning on just painting the wheels or doing other pieces in the same color? A purple would look kinda cool with a darker red maybe? You could always go gold! That seems to look pretty good.
Blue might look like you are trying to go America all over someone's a$$. I'd back it though!

I found a pick of a Mazda with purple. I know it's not a focus but it should give you kind of an idea.

Here is my 00 SE wagon when it used to have black rims/plastic dip.

And here is her with gold over the plastic dip.

She's a little dirty in this last pic, and the lighting is weird.

I think Green would look pretty cool as long as it isnt neon green. You dont want too dark either or people will think you work for Santa.

thanks guys. i really like the white and black, even silver but im always one to not do what everyone else has. i didnt want green because of it looking like xmas and your right with the blue your looking like an american flag.. i really do like gold but it just so happens there are 4 wrx's in my area and they have gold. if you google red car green rims there are a bunch of umm cough hondas cough and only a few with blue.....
