Painted Lugs??

I need some opinions. some of my vw friends have their lugs painted a different color to stand out and give the wheel a unique look. i was thinking of doing it the same color blue as the roundel. my wheel is graphite with a polished lip.

do you guys think it would look dumb?

i did a few and dont kno if it looks stupid or not.

show me your color if you have them painted and or what color should i do if i decide to paint them all.

thanks a lot guys

but I guess if you think the 'shocker' sticker belongs on your ride, might as well go for the painted lugs to complete your bad boy image
