Smile Dealer paying to repaint wheels...thoughts?

So, my dealer has agreed to repaint the stock sport wheels after they damaged the finish while changing to the winter rims.

My question is: Do I have them repainted as stock, or do I modify the paint scheme a little while they are in being redone.

I have the Black Rose paint (Black Cherry in the US) and I was thinking of having them use the Black Rose as the base colour before they overspray the silver. At the same time, masking off the inside of the wheels behind the spokes when they spray the silvers so the inner wheel is Black Rose to match the car, but still silver on the outside of the wheel.

This will probably be an additional small charge to change the paint from a black base and to mask off the inside of the wheels during the silver spray, but I think it might be worth it.... what do you guys think??


EDIT: Added XAN's photochopped image of what I want....
