16" Formula Wheels dark painted inner parts (spinning action)

Have you noticed when Firebirds with 15 inch wheels (with dark grey inner parts)are cruising the spinning action of the wheels is really noticeable and that looks really cool.
The reason of the spinning action gets more noticeable is the dark grey inner parts.
I have a set of polished FORMULA wheels(2nd design) and it look cool but the spinning isnt so noticeable cause the interior is silver painted...so i came with this idea of paint the inner sections dark grey ..
what you think ??

personally I think that is a great idea, I have the 15inch wheels and I love the way they look when I'm driving. but I want something bigger, and I was thinking about the 16's. and I was also thinking the same thing about the painted inner parts. because I don't really like the way they look with the silver on the inside.

I say go for it!

I think it will Look awesome!
