Wheel color schemes

I want to do forest green (British "racing green") pin stripes on my seven hole 12 lb Mini rims. But I prefer to keep the rims the stock silver/alloy color. Searching online, nobody combines these colors--or any pin stripe on a silver/alloy color rim. I am asking for opinions: forest green on silver is way ugly? I can't decide. And as an off-topic tech questions... should I put the striping under the clear plastidip or over? I think under.

Also interested in any fav color schemes for rims. Freebeard has a great color scheme on his beetle.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
