Default Painted Stock Wheels Advice

I've reached a hard choice on how to paint my stock JK Sport Wheels. I plan on painting them Black with some Body Color Accents. I've read plenty of threads with explanations on how to do it have a good idea on the process. My dilemma is what accents to do. Below are some quick mock ups on what I'm thinking about doing. Any suggestions out there.

I love the black look and can't get enough Dozer. Thanks in advance.

my suggestion is thast you need to know when to say when. Try doing the center caps and leave the lugs alone.

I think body color accents on the wheels is overkill. Chrome lugs on black wheels looks good!

Thanks folks for the suggestions. Gotta wait for weather as well. Might not be able to paint until my cross-country move in May. Can't wait to get to Sunny San Diego. Thanks again.
