Thoughts On This Wheel Paint Setup?

I've been thinking about painting my OEM 19's for a while, I just don't know what paint scheme to go with. Right now I'm considering what jlo0109 mentioned, which is a black face and outer lip with the inner lip being painted ivory pearl. Originally I was thinking matte black, but now thinking about goin with semi-gloss black.

I had the wheels photoshopped and it was just a quick sketch just to get an idea. Shading wasnt the best either and as you can see the lines arent smooth either. I was just wondering what you guys would think of the idea.

I'd leave the wheels as they are, and paint the grille a nice silver to match. Throw on some spacers, too. This'll keep it lookin' classy, yet good.

I don't have spacers yet. Not sure how big I should go on the spacers either. The sedan fenders seem to be FTL, unless I am FTL, lol. I was about a quarter inch, maybe half inch lower in the front and the fender actually got pushed out a little bit from the wheels, I guess from turning or turning going over bumps.

Calvin, I would do the silver, but I plan to get GTR overlays, paint the roof black, black housed headlights, and paint the grill black as well, that's why I am wanting to paint the rims black.

I just feel that all black doesn't bring out the wheels enough. I don't want to do time attacks since those are too common. I'd like to try something different. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm open to suggestions.
