Should I paint them? So, I hate my salad shooter rims, yet I don't have the money to get 5 spokes :\ I wish my GTA rims would've worked w/o mods, but sadly the offset causes problems.
That leaves me with paint! I loaded up Photoshop quick and just did some editing of the current. Surprised how realistic it turned out (or so I think).
Anyways, First is stock, second is all but the rim, and third is all black.
I'm open for rim donations too lol

Well, I do like black rims, always have. I had black wagon wheels on my lifted Suburban 
However, mostly I just hate these rims, and anything to mask it, helps lol

FWIW, paint those suckers black and leave the outer lip silver.

i had those on my old trans am and i hated them too... there is a little edge on the rim maybe 1/2 inch wide from the lip that you can mask off and cut around with a razor to make a perfect lip that is machined aluminum... and you dont have to seperate the bead from the tire to paint if u do this... then sand the wheels prime and paint and clear.... i did this to my old t/a and they looked good for a while till i bought zr1's... i tried to upload pics but the site wasnt worken ill try later for you if it doesnt sorry but trust me it makes it look 10x's better...

Rim fund? Rattle can paint, primer and masking tape is all it takes. On my old Formula Knight Rider conversion, I needed the black rims. So I bought a can of that Aircraft stripper stuff. Took off the fading clear coat, painted them black and it looked great. Total money = $12. That kinda coin ain't gonna do much for your rim fund.
