Help deciding on wheel paint

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about painting my stock rims but don't just want flat black. I'm thinking of 2 tone with the face different from the sides / edges of the "spokes." I haven't seen anybody do this so I photoshopped some pictures to try to get an idea of how it would look. What do you think? I'm afraid if I just leave them factory metal and spray clear coat that I won't be able to find a a match for the center caps. Can't tell it in the pictures but the center caps look pretty faded / bad.

option #1 solid satin black

plasti-dip is a nice satin black, easy to touch up if needed and is reversible
could go big and black out all the chrome to make a real change

my .02 cents

#1. Or a dark gray. I painted the wheels on my Tundra black and left the lug nuts chrome. When they're clean (rarely if ever), I think they look sick.
