Honestly something doesn't flow right with your car... instead of painting the rims invest in some different ones. It kinda looks as if you had no vision and just started buying parts.

Just paint the barrels. Gloss or flat black. And leave the centers as is. That would look good.

But I also agree with above and think that those fender flares really need the rear bumper to match, and need the ASM/Shine fenders rather than Seibon because they have a rounder, more aggressive look that matches the round flare.

I say the opposite, paint the centers dark but leave the barrels polished.

^IMO that look is kind of played out, and unless the lips are really shiny chrome I think they look cheap with black on the polished lip. Plus, I think the spokes are already pretty intricate so it would be a shame to cover them up.
