You found zero results because it is a terrible idea and would look like poop.

It's going to look overkill and bad. Take this all green M3.

I wouldn't. It's twice as expensive to paint match your wheels as opposed to powder coating any other color.

Pay once to have it color matched, and then again to have them painted another color when you realize it looks bad.

Could look fine. My TiAg car looks great with silver style 264's, but other combinations (like the above M3) don't work so well. It's all a question of taste (for which there is no accounting).

Something tells me the Sedona Red combo is not going to be a winner however...
