Default Anyone got a pic of these alloys painted non-standard?

These are on my S40 and need a refurb, so i'm interested to know how they'd look painted differently (different colour, shadow background with silver etc.)

I've looked around on Google, Ebay etc. and can only find a very few pics of standard ones - I understand them to be BBS Split Rims, do they come on the R Design?

Anyway, any pics helping out with ideas much appreciated!

I searched and only found this one rubbish picture.
Everyone seems to leave them standard, which is no bad thing as they look great!



Here's a picture to use if anyone is good with photoshop:

You don't say what colour the car is, it might help in deciding a colour for the wheels. Personally I agree with baggy798 in that they look very good as they are. The dark rear wheel in the picture doesn't do it any favours but then I've never been a fan of darker alloys, I like them to stand out.

If you can take a picture of the car with the wheels and tell me what colour you want them I can photoshop them for you

Sorry only just seeing this.

The car has gone with my hubby today - he's removing the wheels and putting temporary ones on, ready for them to get refurbed/painted.
I've gone round in circles looking at a light grey all over or just background with silver fronts. But now i'm wondering whether to go for a bright silver (probably not dissimilar to them as standard)

Here's a pic of the car, not the best i'm afraid.

I really need to make a decision very soon i.e. today!
