Would look ok, If you plan to clean them every time you stop...
and the brake dust will eventually start to discolor the white into gray/yellow shade, would go with a anthracite or black center looks good on white even better than silver. look for some low dust brake pads which would help with keeping clean. Had friends in a car club who had white rims on mitsubishi eclipses and always complained about dust/dirt and keeping clean, needless to say they where soon replaced or repainted black. Yours also are 2-3 piece, try cleaning around all those bolts, dirt will show badly and hard to remove.

Well, you make a good point but...........
If I am paying $4,000 on wheels they should not turn color. Yes they will show the dirt more and no matter what wheel I decide to go with I will get new low dust brake pads. Anthracite is an option as well. I am stuck on making a decision. That is why I am on here for some good opinions. Thanks

Up to a point, it's all about personal preference. Yada yada.
So FWIW: From my personal perspective, white wheels only look good on WRC/ProRally cars. They must be extra-wide, small-diameter wheels with big ol' honkin' knobby tires on them with those puncture-proof bladders. Best on blindingly blue cars. Oh yes: They must be VERY dirty. Or else, they are kind of feminine lookin' to me. Especially on a white car. That's probably some kind of cultural bias. I have no idea why I have that reaction and cannot explain it. And I do not mean any offense by that.
In the style that you show on your white Merc, I like these C22 HREs:

Other HREs come in the reverse lip of course, but those are best in sunny locales.
Also maybe these (I get to tout my favorite wheel 2 days in a row which many folks here view as overtly JDM-styled and completely inapproprate for our Teutonic vehicles, nonetheless, I like them):
<a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/users/18752.phtml">A pile of images showing Volk LE37Ts on an Arctic White S4 in San Diego </a>
Caveat: Having said all that $#%@: I have a black Avant with cheap@$$ OZ SLs on 'em.
YMMV.

Paint is paint, eventually it will even my Anthracite
Here in NC we have all this red clay that without regular cleaning will change the white paint on anycar even a 100k Mercedes S500. My father owned a white Ford Aerostar for 3 yrs 98k mi and washed it weekly and behind the wheelwells the paint changed to a orange hue needing constant buffing/polishing and waxing to no avail, even a detailer said its not going to go away without repainting. Thats my experience and why I don't own a white car no matter how good it looks.
