Brushed aluminum rim with white lip on W211?

Would my rims on a black '08 W211 look good with a white lip and white brake calipers? What other color combination of the wheel would look good?

Though I like a white lip, it gets dirty the moment you finish cleaning it...BLACK LIP FTW!!

White would get too dirty quickly and thats what Im a little cautious off. What other color would provide a good contrast? or better since anything matches with black hehe
