I would like tp paint mine, however, once I do, I had better have made the right decision. My current rims are STOCK 16 inch ( yes 16 ) 5 spoke wheels. I really like having the 16 inch rims too, and I dont really want to mess them up..
Perhaps a photoshop is in order.

$1600+ for a set of black WS6 wheels? HELLLLLLLLL NO!!!!!!!
I mean if they were used 1600 sounds like way too much, but 400 dollars/wheel seems inexpensive in comparsion to 600-1000/wheel iForged, CCW, Fikse, HRE, etc.....
of course you can buy replica WS6s and reconditioned ones for less than 400, closer to 250-300/ wheel, and used of course for even less....

I got my 2000 17x9 WS6 polished wheels from GM for $279/ea (brand new, not reconditioned) after someone hit the side of my other car.
To compare stock wheels to CCW or Fiske or whatever is silly. Compare stock to stock, not stock to high end replacement.

What stealership sold you WS6 wheels for 280/ wheel? Cause I was being told between 500-750 to replacement a chrome 16" T/A wheel after bending one
The MSRP is clearly 619.72 for the CETA wheels, I have yet to talk to any local dealership in Dallas that would go below MSRP on parts
420 from the dealership in PA, is nearly a third off
if it was done through an insurance claim, you mostly probably got a reconditioned wheel
I know when I had a spindle brake on my 95 T/A, it broke my driver's side front wheel, the insurance claim had the sparkle silver 16" five star listed as 420 paid for, because I would not settle the claim if they attempted to give me a reconditioned wheel. I told them to leave me in the rental.
in fact, this site lists the reconditioned WS6 wheel with core for 285
