Should I paint my wheels or no?

Just what the title says. This was just a quick and dirty photoshop of it (literally, my truck hasn't been washed in like 3 months). They came out looking a little bit shiny, but I didn't feel like putting much effort into it.

UNPAINTED

PHOTOSHOP PAINTED

Yeah, I've never been a fan of chrome. That's why my stuff is either black or painted body color. The only things on my truck that aren't are the wheels and the stock grille inserts.

That looks super bad, where do you guys get those 3rd gen rims? I would love to eventually get a set for my 2nd gen if I could find them for a good price!

i've had them painted sonce oct. did 2 coats of auto black primer, and two coats of hammered black , so far only scratches are where the lug nuts go. i've been wheeling multiple times even at the dunes, and many car washes, no problems yet.
