ill be painting mine as well. ill be going with a metallic black as my car is gg.. i think you should do a charcoal gray of some shade.. black might look pretty sharp too, but a slight contrast with a dark gray would look pretty good i think.. im not a fan of wheel striping though. to each his own.

I saw a set of WedsSport SA-70's on a TB Evo looked really sharp, they had a blue stripe.

Thanks guys!!! And to think I thought I rushed and it came out like crap.. haha I chose to do all paint.. No need to worry about a red sticker coming off at the car wash! Just a tip... If you choose to do red, blue or whatever color lip.. First use white primer on the lip area.. Makes the color stand out.. You spray blue for a lip over black, youll just be wasting your time with a midnight blue lip that nobody can see.. Post up pics if you get the courage to paint your wheels!

You say you rushed? What did you do as far as prep? My concern is the clear coat on the enkeis.I dont want to be sanding each wheel for hours.If there is an easier way like a stripper or some awesome primer thatll be ok to just spray on Id do this all in a days work
