I know it's "horrible" working coloring in MS Paint so, your re-done pic#2 aside, I'm for the "matching" pinstripe along the rim (size & color). It would be another subtle splash; making your bike a tad different than others. Nice look'n SharkNose - BTW!

I voted no on the pinstripe, but if you do it anyway, you have to do the back wheel too.

It will look good either way, but a red pinstripe will make it unique, it's a personal choice and it's your bike so make it's yours if you like the red pinstripe on the wheels, I voted yes on it, because I think it looks good and will make the wheels stand out, just use the same color red that's already on the bike though!

Match the existing stripping or leave it alone.
