Default Thoughts on some custom SS 10 spokes

I picked up a set of a stock 10 spoke SS wheels for a pretty good price the other day and was thinking of doing something a little different.

First of all I'll be getting the rears widened to 11"

Secondly, some custom work is in order. My car is NBM, and I was thinking of getting the recessed areas of the wheel painted NBM to match, leaving the face machined silver.

Basically exactly like the 35th annv wheels, but blue instead of black.

Thoughts?

I think that would be pretty sick actually. or possibly have the spokes painted NMB and leaving the lip and the rest of the wheel silver. O and I love the wheels btw. haha

the ones that have the recessed area powder coated black and the face machined look awsome

Would look cool, although the stock SS's sit a little too far in for me. Maybe a small spacer all around would get it looking good too.
