Has anyone ever seen or done a 2 tone paint job on wheels?

I was thinking like this color but with a gunmetal lip or a chrome lip:

Anyone?

I've only seen two-tone done with black and gun-metal... I think a two-tone with Blue and Chrome/gun-metal will look funky... But you can be the judge of that... I took the liberty of photoshopping that combo:

The concept is sound. But the contrast on that photo is off putting, kinda like the bright green rims on audi's combo. , maybe its just the photoshop causing the color to look weird. (maybe)
