Personally, I've never liked the look... From a distance it looks like you have spare tires on...

But if it floats your boat, go for it

There are plenty of photos in this forum of OEM wheels that are painted. If you like the look do it.

stock rims have no lip so i dont think powdercoating it will look good at all, the cool thing about aftermarket powdercoated wheels is the fact that all you see is a chrome or titanium circle that seperates rim from tire, if you powdercoat stock it will look like spare black tires (ugly)
