It's totally your call and your personal taste mate, if you like it then go for it. Those pics Nath has posted look great and I agree it has to be simple, too many green bits and it may look cheap.

Have you considered painting the spokes the same colour as your car and then do the lip in the green?

I think green rims will look good providing all the green bits are the exact same shade.

Your car is looking good mate, well done, but from a design/aesthetics point of view, mix and matching different shades of green isn't going to work (in my opinion) continuity is key with things like this, if you match the greens it will look more 'finished'.
