Default Looking for pics of 18in Turbo Twist-Black

I picked up a set of 18in Turbo Twists and was thinking of painting them gloss black with polished outside lip. My 88 951 is the "rare" Guards Red . I think the Red/Black would work well with black wheel color. I'm open to ideas on the color as the gun metal would also look nice but may look a bit to mid-2000's Mustang. I live in NE Ohio so this will only be a summer/Weekend nice weather and maybe some PCA going forward.

Hummm maybe the Magnesium look from the 951 Cup wheels would look good in paint on the Turbo Twists.

Thoughts?

The black/polished lip is from the Fuchs design. I liked them enough to pay extra for the option (also 16s instead of the standard 15" phonedials). Painting more modern wheels with the same pattern should look good, even on these "rare" Guards Red (Indishrot) cars.
