Default Quick question about the Alcoas

Since i painted them black what do you guys think about painting the fake bolts/screws (idk what to call them) that are there to make it seem like the Alcoas are 2 piece rims red? My buddy keeps bugging me telling me to paint them red, but idk i think it might look ricey. Ill provide a pic so maybe someone can photo shop it.

Meh, not my cup of tea, who knows, though.. I always thought about taping off the little lip around the outer edge of the rim before painting and leaving it polished or painting it another color..

We def need a photoshop to see how it will look, from a distance as well..

It might look alright. If I was you, though, I would paint the faux bolts silver or grey so that they look more realistic.
