Question Changing the colour of my wheels

I have wheels from the later wrx on my 99 classic.

I want to spray them up myself so i can feel the achievement of making my car look better and knowing i've done the work.

Problem is i can't decide what to do with them.

The colour of the car is like british racing green.

A couple of ideas are to Black or Graphite the alloys but i don't know if that is to dull.

The other idea is to do do the above but to do only the spokes in Black or Graphite and to Colour the Dish either the same colour as the car or to do a lime green Dish.

What do you guys think as you guys are pretty much the critics...

Am open to any other ideas as well...

Dont know if you can se my wheels in the pic beside but thats them as cant get pic of them on here

Graphite, or bronze on that car.

Andy, (Chocolate O'Brian on here) sprayed some Pug 205GTi 1.9 wheels white and made a right good job of it.

Cheers Jeff. Mr boy83, here's the thread I did with a full step by step of who, what, where, when and why I did it. Won't be much different for Scoob wheels although if bubbling or kerbed I'd suggest shotblasting or an acid bath to get the old paint off.
