Default 96 civic wheels - need opinions

I've had these wheels since I bought my car and they are kind of crappy looking now. This wheel has a small curb rash on it as well. Its an alloy finish that I doubt I could repair since it has no paint on it, so I was curious what you guys thought about possibly painting these wheels.
Should I just leave them as is or try to repair this wheel and repaint them all ?

Any pics of the entire car?

I think it may just be time for a new set of shoes

Its my daily driver work car. I don't want to put alot of money into wheels or anything but I do like it to look half way decent. My main car is an '06 acura TSX

If there is no plans to lower it, I would just leave it as a daily driver.
Painting the wheels is not going to do anything for the looks of it, lol.

You might be able to sand/polish the rash a little to hide it. JB weld makes a good filler if you're going to paint over the rash.

I had wheels with a similiar finish on my 90 Integra. I used some aircraft paint stripper to take off the deteriorating finish and then polished them a bit with a buffer. Looked good.
