Black center with a silver rim can look very nice.

Black it is then. I'll have to see how steady i am for masking up the centers tho. (Not too patient for intricate difficult small jobs)

Id go for black centres with a silver outer edge :D I painted my old ford RS 4 spokes centres black with hammerite & it stopped on even when jet washing :D I did no prep work apart from cleaning them before I started :lol:

I think a silver wheel but with black centre then a black spiral coming out to the edge like on a jumbos turbine propelors. Would be like those spinning hub cap thingies but cooler  :wink:  :lol:
