I think Dan is on to something with this rasta paint idea. It might actually look pretty cool :)

Paint them just how you did on the test tire with all four colors.

Personal preference would be all white or all yellow. And I'd have to see the whole car to decide if it really fit or not. Rasta colors would fit in well with the VW/Honda sticker-stance crowd.
