I would PC the inner and leave the outer edge of the 5 star spoke in chrome. It is like 2 tone color. Not sure if this is possible though.

Is that a 2-piece wheel? Personally, I think it would look good if you did only the centre, on the condition that the rivets stay chromed. If you do the entire centre piece, it will make the rivets look fake (more fake?) and the wheel will just look like a poor-quality multipiece knockoff.

I'm personally not a fan of chrome, but powder coat black with silver rivets would look boss. also if you powder coat you may as we'll paint calipers to make them pop!
