Painting my Fuchs. Help me choose...

I've got my Fuch back from the polisher and I'm ready to paint them. I didn't want them fully polished (too Cal-Look for me ), so I just had them do the lip and spoke faces. The accent color will be a GM dark metalic grey (thanks plasticfantastic :agree: ). Here are samples of the two paint styles I'm considering. A rendering of my car is on my website under "Projects". Take a look and chime in here with your input...

Polished lip w/ painted spokes and recess:

I don't understand the question. If you are inquiring about my wheel selection I have 18" X 10" and 18" X 7.5" turbo twists...

If you are going with the GM grey, I would paint the whole center like the top wheel. But if you just paid to have the whole wheel polished that might be a waste of $$.
