Over the last few months I've picked up a few alloy scrapes (1 by me, 1 by the other half and one I'm no idea how it got there!). Went down to the local bodyshop today to get a quote for fixing them - won't be immediately as I'm currently saving for a wedding, but wanted to know roughly what I should budget for. Whilst I was there I chatted to the guy regards potentially changing the colour whilst they were in for fixing (as he'd mentioned he'd be respraying them anyway - just different colour paint!, so would be no extra charge!). This got me thinking,

I have these (standard S-line), and I was thinking about keeping the diamond cut sections and outer rim only remaining OEM diamond cut silver, and getting the rest coated gloss black? Similar idea to

Would someone be able to do a photoshop job on the standard wheel so I could have an idea of how they might look? Do people think they would look good?
