Default Orange Cup Alloys

Well the car comes back tomorrow after 2 months off the road with bodywork and engine work having been done (touch wood). On my other thread I was toying with powdercoating the existing cup alloys orange. I know that they look good on a white car but not sure if they'd be too much on a cobalt blue. Does anyone have any pictures of orange cup alloys. They're quite rare to find. Here's a photo shop image that a member has done on my car. Just wondering what the general opinions are. Not sure wether to keep original, change to orange or in a years time go to multispokes?

Dark bronze would look nice with your blue, I don't like the orange myself (I did the photoshop image for you)

I thought I would give orange a go. try it for a year, you can always paint them back to silver if you get bored of it.

I actually quite like that look. But I think that the mirrors coloured as well really sets it off well

Dark Bornze or dark gunmetal grey instead of silver.
