Painted my Rostyle wheels - what do you think?

I stripped and repainted my Rostyle wheels. I used Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating which I purchased at Wal-Mart. It is a very nice silver with a metallic look (part number WP101). I then started to tape off the rims so that I could apply the black paint but after looking at the silver rims I really liked that look. I think that it gives the rims an updated look. I added stainless trim rings and new tires. What do you think? The rims with the trim rings really look great on the car.

looks suprisingly good, but black might look better IMO...
i dont really like rostyles anyhow....good job....z
 
Did Walmart have the same high performance wheel coating in black? I have repainting my Rostyles from body color to black and silver next up on the to do list.
 
Thanks for the comments. I like the all silver look. I feel it brings the Rostyle rims up to the 21st century. I'll attempt to add a photo of the car to this response. Maybe it will give a better view of the car & rims.

Monark192 - I forgot to answer your question. I did not see any other Dupli-Color wheel paint colors at Wal-Mart. You may want to try Dupli-Color's website to see what is available.
 
I checked - they have what they call "racing black satin" Not sure how that would look next to your metallic silver. What were you going to use for the black Tony?
