New look for C5 Wagon wheels

I was thinking about painting my C5 wagon wheels black and started messing around with a photoshop picture of a C5 wagon wheel. I came up with about 5 different designs and picked out the one I thought looked best. I thought it came out pretty nice looking.
Any thoughts or opinions?

Here is how I did it:

Step 1: tape off the area you are not wanting to paint

Step 2: sand with 400 grit sandpaper and wipe clean

Step 3: Primer, then gloss black, then clearcoat. I used ceramic engine enamel.

Step 4: Remove tape and wait for paint to dry

Step 5: Enjoy the new look!

Looks sweet, I'd rock a set done up like that except I'd finish it off with black lug nut covers and maybe a black lip or pinstripe. Nice job
