refinishing wheels, PS of an idea

im in the midst of fixing the curb rash on my wheels while the winter wheels are on, had an idea and was looking for a 2nd opinion. the wheels will be completely stripped of paint and re-done this is what i was thinking of doing.

silver spokes and everything thats not a spoke blacked out

Not my style. It would look like you are driving on fans.

looks tacky...

if you do the reverse, and keep the rims silver, and darken the spokes, it might not look as bad.
