Default SL65 style wheels on AP2

The SL65 Black Series has wheels with spokes that have bright silver outer-faces and dark interior sides. The barrel of the wheel is also has a gunmetal tone. It really makes the spokes pop nicely. Can anyone photoshop this effect on either an AP2v1 or v2 wheel?

Well, they look hot on the shopped S2K, but something looks wrong on the real MB lol. They look too big for the car, or vice versa. Can't quite figure it out, it's bothering me, though.

v2's might be able to pull it off ... I think the spokes are thick enough.

v1's look great up close. But to me with this style they look too skinny.

I wonder if v2's have been done this way before

Hey I think I might take one fore the team tomorrow. I have an extra set of v2's laying around that I'll apply some matte black wheel paint too. If it turns out nice I'll consider doing the full powdercoat. I'll post up a pic tomorrow night.
