I think it would look good if it was powder coated all black.

Pic 1 would look good if the strakes where silver. It would flow with the black and silver wheels.

It's kinda got that 70's/60's porche 911 mag look to it painted that way which is kinda cool. Painted strakes don't look good though.

I've said this before, but I think white stock would look awesome on Yellow as well. Only problem is they will get dirty as hell.

Definately clear the hell out of them for easy cleaning. When I get my new rims my stockers will go to track duty So I might have a buddy spray them just for kicks. My cousin had hi EVO MR BBS rims done in STI Gold and it looked good.
