You should leave them stock. If you want black wheels buy some 
. I just think painting them will make them hard to sell in the future if you get tired of them. If you really like black wheels trade you'r stock si's for rotas or some thing

i toyed around with that idea for my si's but i figured i'd rather just buy some black wheels if i wanted them THAT bad. Traded on here actually with someone who was returning their car to stock so they could sell

I have pics of mine. They are powder coated gunmetal, looks hot. Its different thats all I wanted.
I give it a thumbs up as long as you dont take it too far.

If you want to go with the idea, then go to a professional powdercoating shop to do it for you...I guess it looks okay. I'd have to see them in person.

I am trying to look for the link to my car on my website. AS soon as i find it i will post the pics of how sharp they look in gunmetal. black would look hideous.

Re: Should i paint my Si wheels?? (w00t!)
thanks for all the comments guys and 
. i really thought of painting em gray cuz its a bitch having to keep em clean from break dust. as fas leaving the ring around it. i know SIs wouldnt be a good candidate for it cuz the lip isnt as "pronounced" as it is on the LS mesh rims, but i think if done right, it would look slick
