Painted Stock Wheels - Picture/photoshop request

[Jackyll]

I have a black ms3 and was going to buy a set of black wheels with a red lip/stripe and use the stock wheels for winter, but money has gotten tighter so I'm planning on getting a used set of regular 3 wheels for winter and painting the stockers. So now I need to decide between painting them flat black, glossy black, bronze, or black with the red stripe. I've found plenty of pictures of painted stockers in flat and gloss black but none in bronze or black with red. Can anyone help me out with some pictures or a photoshop? I think the black with red would look good with an aftermarket wheel but i'm not sure about the stockers since they don't have a decent lip on them (the spokes pretty much go to the edge of the wheel).

Thanks a bunch!

I want to do the red/black with mine... but for winter.

I have an MB 08 and I was thinking about painting stockers too. However, black is too much, I think. I was going to go with a gunmetal colour. That'll keep the brake dust uglies at bay a bit longer and complement the car by giving a bit more contrast than pure black wheels would, even with the red stripe.

...and btw, 18 inch stock wheels make for lousy selection of winter tiresand big $$$. Get a set of steels in 16 for that. Mazda's 16 inchers from the base car go over the calipers no sweat.

Yeah that's my plan now is to get some cheap stockers from the base 3 for winter. Cheaper wheels and cheaper tires. And I'm already doing a black/red theme with the car which is why I was leaning towards black so much
