I have black twin turbo wheels that I painted myself. The only reason I painted them was because the previous owner painted them black and red.... They look bad in black, maybe because I did a bad job? That is probably the case lol but I don't care, they are just beater rims. On the other hand if you have them professionally painted in high gloss black, the tt rims don't look bad at all. I know your rims aren't the tt rims but IMO, just leave them as is. They look fine. I'd invest that money into a drop for your car though =). or brakes.
