white in back, silver up front 
i think it could look cool...im not normally for mismatched rims, but white and silver are not super conflicting/contrasting. its just i was looking at my friend's bike, he has white deep v's and the front is machined for brakes, and i was thinking i really liked the looks of the back rim being solid white and the front having the strip of silver from the machining....and then i thought a white back wheel with a front silver wheel could look really good together.
btw there is both normal silver and bright silver....and TI gray.

is bright silver like polished, or is it still just a metallic silver?
Get white if you want a white saddle, otherwise stick with silver. Blue will be a different shade (more than likely)... could look funky.
sidenote:
I generally think of white and silver/chrome like red and orange... too close in color.

I would get a neutral color.
I even think Brown/ Copper would look good on it. Its such a clean looking frame you can't go wrong with any color u choose.
But I would save the crazy colorways for the grips/tries you swap those every 4-6 months..
Seat and Wheels will be on your bike for years, so don't get anything that'll be an eyesore later!

can you tell me the difference between https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...p04del02osppa5 and https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=397 please. i assume the more expensive one just comes with sealed hubs?

They are both sealed bearing hubs, the cheaper one comes with machined walls(note the different in colours at the edge of the rim), machined walls allow the use of brake. Not that you can't use brakes on the non-machined ones but paint will wear off and your brake pads might glaze.
