The gold (not silver) is pretty classic for this car, but to each their own.
You could maybe look into using PlastiDip. If you don't like it, it peels right off. If you don't do something with the wheels, they'll stick out like a sore thumb against a different lower cladding color.

Honestly and personally, I don't think black would look good with that color. But, that's just my opinion.
As for the price, that seems like a pretty fair price to me. Check with a Subaru dealer to make sure any recall work was done. My '01 VDC had one for rear subframe rust and a cruise control cable clip. The only other warranty work done was for a headlight bulb.
