I too am looking to paint my stockers until I wear out the new tires i have and get new wheels. You should be able to get them powder coated for roughly $300...or you could save that money for the later purchase. there is already a thread about this with a DB w/ gold rims powder coated:

There's nothing wrong with painting or powdercoating your stock rims. You can have them done for ~$200. This is a worthwhile mod if tastefully done. Although I like the stock rims, I do not like their "bare" look.
Here is a picture of my 17" powdercoated (black) stock rims:

My '06 rims are painted gunmetal also and they look even sharper than most aftermarket rims.
