Default Green on Silver?

Has anyone ever ran Green Tint and or Green Wheels with a polished lip on a Silver GS before?

If so, Pics so i can kinda of get an idea?

Im tossing around the idea of doing Green Tint and having my wheels changed from Black to Green with a Polished lip.....


Something like this





Imagine the trafficstars done up in green and on a silver car.....Its WAAAY different i know but its something you dont see everyday....

LOL..
Here is my car how it sits right now
Im tired of seeing Silver and Black on the car....
My trafficstars are black right now and in the process of being stripped. I have a few days to decide what color i wants and really leaning to going with Green Tint and a Kick *** Green for the wheels
Every other GS i see on the road these days has Black, silver,polished or Chrome wheels....

Maybe if you were color-matching the wheels to your car but that's not the case.

If you do green wheels, add a matching graphic/paint design to your car also. If you don't, green rims on a Lexus sedan look like a guy wearing a tuxedo with huge green basketball shoes. Not the same styles.

ok, now that we're compromising, how about this. silver face wheels with your 'kick a$$ blue' brake calipers?

OR, silver face w/that 'kick a$$ blue' lip on the wheels?
