white wheels on red car?

hey guys,

somehow i came up with the idea that i could paint the 16" stock wheels on my red formula.. i tried the search function for some pics of that but no luck. has anyone ever done this and have pics of it or any other input?
i'm just curious as to what it would look like..

thanks

White wheels are impossible to keep clean, so you are really working against yourself with that color.

i dont drive the car that much so that might not be the biggest problem, still good consideration.
