Default need opinions for re powder coating

first off, if you dont like either option, you dont need to state your opinion, just sayin

so my wheels need re done, and i want more red, i talked to my friend that does powder coating and he says he should be able to pull off either of my option i discussed with him (im no good at PS or id show exactly what im thinking, but i think its easy enough to imagine)

option 1, black spokes with red lip (like current, but the ENTIRE lip inside and outside)

option 2, same as option 1, but with the "backing" of the spokes done red too, its really hard to see in pics of my spokes as they are black, but, there is a recessed edge along the back.side of the spokes, so, looking straight at the wheels face, you would not see this red, but, from an angle would see a thin red sliver

thanks for the input, im really leaning towards option 2, but im not 100% sure what it will look like

pics to follow...

i dont like either option but if i had to pick i would say option 1. i think option 2 would just be too much red.

I like what you have now, my wheels are similar with a small red pinstripe on black, I think it looks great !
