Wheel Colour Change - Ideas Please

[Mat]

Ok, so my wheels and brakes are needing a respray soon (before GTi Inters). I've had black wheels since owning the car, and the last owner had em black for a fair while too. I also sprayed the Brembos silver as soon as I got them last year.

Anyway, here's how the cupra look now.

Don't get me wrong, black wheels against the silver car do look sweet, but I'm wanting something "fresh". Thinking of just going for silver. If/When I spray the wheels, I'll be leaving the main "drum" black. Basically, spray the spokes lip, and first 2 inches of the wheel or so (hope that that makes sense).

Now, I was thinking silver wheels and black brakes. Or the option of silver wheels, and leave the groove in each spoke black (probably look **** TBH). Other ideas I toyed with was a dark shade of red for the wheels, but then there's nothing to go with on the car, where as at the moment, I have a black and silver thing going on, and could keep to that with silver wheels and black brakes.

A mate has also mentioned the brakes should be a bright colour, which then made me think. Do I go red? kiwi? or spray each caliper a different colour? day-glow?

Ideas and suggestions please.

TIA

I would if I could afford to. Not been a good year so far for the Cupra, so funds are low

Came up with another idea last night.....

Vinyl Wrap the wheels. Maybe with a Jelly Bean wrap and Day Glow yellow brakes
