Default painted my wheels, need some opinions

Dont worry im going to get a picture up as soon as i take a shower but i painted my wheels black today cuz well, i was bored... anyway it looks pretty good but i want it to stand out so my question to everyone here is should i go red pinstripe around the edge, or i was thinkin about painting the divets on each spoke silver. which sounds better? i cant decide. anyone with photoshop skills wanna take a stab at this? give me few to get some pictures up

My brother just painted my old S4 wheels black and put them on his silver A6. He put a silver pinstripe around it and clearcoated it after. It glossed them up a little but looks bad ***. If it ever stops raining i`ll get a pic 4 ya.

oooo I really wanna know what the pinstripe looks like. I've got 18" S4 black rims and everyone was telling me to either put a red or matching blue stripe around the rim. But I'm too scared to try it. Maybe I'll try and photoshop or something.

Looks good, but I really think it needs a silver lip.

I'm thinking about gloss black with a white lip.

silver lip is doable but im thinkin it might look stupid because the car really doesnt have a lip
