Default To Paint or Not to Paint ? Help please !!!

I cant decide to paint my wheels? I have a 2001 green f150 with 10 spoke sport wheels and i want to paint them black .........here are some pics of them taped up to get any idea of what it will look like... But i need other people opinion.

Or if anyone could photo shop my wheels black that would be awesome!!!

Tape up 2 of the rims, and sit on it for a day or two. Then decide whether it's for you or not.

I personally like the way it looks because your truck isn't all green, so leaving the 5 spokes unpainted as well as the lip will look pretty good. Assuming you can get clean paint lines.

those are the exact wheels I have, my truck is silver so I want to do a similar paintjob as you have, only with a gunmetal grey. I say you should go for it, it compliments your truck really well!

I say paint them black as you have them taped off. Here is a link to a thread in the forum where a guy did his. I would follow what he did using same paint and all.
