Yep, I'd paint them black, and keep the nice shiny lip. Should look great.

Powder coat the wheels gun metal grey with a silver lip. After that suggestion, I have fallen in love with the idea.

I definitely prefer the wheels that you're going to put on over what's currently on the car.
Personally I wouldn't paint them, but if you do, black spokes with polished rim would look good IMO. |
