I painted my wheels. But mine were not chrome. I'm not sure if the chrome changes anything. There are tons of write ups online though.

I honestly think they look great on your car in the chrome, but I think they look even better in black

It doesnt really matter to me. Either way it goes it looks good but if I was to do black, I would do a red stripe around the lip since you have red decals! Now that's pimpin! EDIT: I thought I'd help you out a bit...
