Default Thoughts on standard rims with titanium trim?

I'm getting a Milltek non-res put on this week on my daytona grey/titanium RS4. (hearing it on the recent NYC meetup put me over the edge!)

I didn't go for the black Milltek tips, as I like the look of the chrome tips and want them to stand out. Next I was thinking about re-mounting the summer tires on standard rims and using the titanium rims for winter tires (my thought being that winter dirt will be less noticeable on ti).

Any thoughts on this plan? Using my lame pshop skills I came up with the following comparison.

Thanks

I think that they would look good in just about any color. Best looking wheels for the RS4 by far.

I think the Ti package looks best with the dark wheels.

Default I think I would stay with titanium wheels

Just to stay nice and evil
The silver exhaust will work though
because of the silver rings in the
rear but you need the titanium wheels
though or it effs it all up

Cool thanks for the input, that picture does effectively show that it wouldn't work.
