since i love those wheels (i wish they were 19"), and i'm low on cash to buy aftermarket wheels, i thought painting them might be an option i'd consider..
i borrowed this picture from here (dunno who's the owner and hope he doesn't mind), and i've done some chopping.
Original:
Painted wheels:
Rolling:
vote if you think i should consider doing it or not.
well, i don't like the all black wheels.. the desired look is black spokes with machined lip (even tho that's no where near that), but when rolling, i think it doesn't look bad at all..
Don't really like it, takes away from the depth of the factory wheel design and looks almost mustang-ish. I'd say save your money and get OEM GT or Nismo wheels if you like the stock design and want 19's while keeping a modest budget.
Keep them silver, just lower your car. They will look 100x better. And if you must paint them, go all black or nothing. The painted spokes look horrible imo.

just went looking for the "OEM wheel painting" thread and saw the GT painted in dark grey.. that just changed my mind about them wheels..
might try to get those in 19" and paint them black..
My opinion, NO, but if you are going to paint them I think those wheels look 1,000 times better one solid color, like black, gunmetal, flat black or grey. Good luck!

the problem is, i only found 2 or 3 pics that's 2006 model with blacked out stockers on the "Stock Rim Modifications" thread .. i still can't get a good feeling about it.
i need more pics, and i'll appreciate anyone's contribution..
