Wheel mod, opinion wanted

I added a Red stripe 1" behind the spokes of my polished wheels, what do you think?

As long as the stripe holds up to whatever wheel cleaner you use, should be good. It would be neat to see when the wheel is in motion.

To be totally honest with you, I think it does not look good.
Seems to cheapen the wheel. The thin spokes look awesome without
pinstriping on the spokes or on the inner rim.
Can't help it, but it makes me think of an import with "R" stickers on it.
Don't mean to offend, just my honest opinion.
