I would not paint them. Wait till you can buy the wheels you want then sell them. If you paint them you might as well but them on the curb when you are done I dont think anyone will want to buy them painted.

They look good in the picture for some reason, but they all have some severe rock rash. So I don't really expect to sell them for almost anything anyway.

Did someone say Chrome will get you home but black won't get you back?
Black looks better for those rims.

I think they look better black too, it'll be interesting to see how they look after I paint them.
Sometimes chrome looks good (there is a tan-ish LJ lurking around here with long arms and a matching trailer that I love) but I think my rig is better with black.

i think painted black looks better in the photoshop pictures. my question though is how is the paint going to hold up on the aluminum wheels? i've seen a couple of people do this but i've never seen any follow ups on how well it holds up. i have m/t aluminum wheels that i too would love to paint if it holds up well? anyone done this with any feedback?
