that has potential, i've been brainstorming how to paint my phone dials for my summer set of rims... I was thinking gunmetal gray with a polished lip and polishing the "dial" part as well (like how the 88 924s SE's wheels were painted but polished instead).. Its going to be rough to do but it could be cool.

Do two wheels with white spokes black lips, the other two black spokes white lips. Then put 1 of each on the rear and the opposite orientation on the front.

Might be kinda cool going with your white/black theme.
