Re: COME ON THE STRATOS & STORMYS!
It's the old "do I colour match or contrast" conundrum, isn't it?
Mark has used the contrast method to great effect IMHO

Re: COME ON THE STRATOS & STORMYS!
I think they may have worked better if you'd kept the blue to the insides of the spokes, more of a hi-light with the black contrast?

Re: COME ON THE STRATOS & STORMYS!
Just changed the colour of my wheels and trim from White to Gunmetal (and painted brake calipers) so though't I'd post some before and after for anyone interested in either colour.
Before (white with Metal flake over the top)
After (gunmetal with Silver Metalizer over the top)

Re: COME ON THE STRATOS & STORMYS!
Took a ride out to Pembrey Circuit on Saturday to try out a new camera lens, whilst there thought it rude not to take a couple of shots of the 8 now most of the hard work has been done & looking in a more respectable condition. Still a bit more work needed on the paintwork but it's getting there.
