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?

personally, i like black lips, never a fan of white rims.

paint the calipers red. red calipers look sick on black cars.

a white brake caliper is going to turn black and nasty real quick.

Im kind of a lip man too.....I saw some pink lips rolling around (I kid you not) on a black 211, and it was too sick!

+1

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
