If you're up to doing another photoshop session, try doing it with the color showing up IN BETWEEN the spokes of the wheels, then see what you think.
You can usually find brake dust guards on Ebay pretty cheap. Just an idea.

Yes it's a thin plate that fits on the backside of a wheel. The original purpose of it is to block brake dust from collecting on your rims so they stay cleaner longer, but I picked them for the cosmetic benefit of having the color between the spokes.
