Refinish my wheels?

As some of you may have seen in my previous thread, I bought some Axis Pentas and had them shipped to me and the finish was damaged on one of the wheels. Since the finish couldn't be matched if it was repaired I was gonna buy a new rim. Been then I started thinking I might be able to refinish all 4 rims to a custom color for about the same price.

Anyone have any suggestions on a finish/color? I was thinking a higher polished lip, but what about the mesh of the wheel?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Also Photoshops would be appreciated too

gold with polished lip seems to be a popular choice for the blue G's

Didn't the company that shipped them to you have them insured? If not, that really sucks
