Default Painted chrome rims / washable paint. Yay or nay? ghey play way say ray wtf pay

Yeah i was bored and was trying to see if black was an okay color to combine with the blue on my car.
And therefore painted my chrome rims ( previous owner placed them put them on) Flat black.

The paint is not the actual color or the right kind. Its just general flat black. Maybe gloss would look better, i dont know. I just tested it. Rubbed off with acetone and thinner.


They are 16's
And Its on stock ride height. I just ordered Ground control's.



Before:



After:






I mean i know they are shitty rims, and all, but i jut wanna know if it's not ugly enough to drive in the streets in these meanwhile i save for some good rims.
