Because there's a lot of rim(? I don't know how else to say it) I would say do more of a toned down color, like bronze or black. Bronze is more of my choice. Just my opinion.

Paint your wing and front lip first.

If it was my car I'd leave those wheels as they are, they look clean as is, paint the lip and wing as earlier suggested, and clean up those headlights or get new ones wet sand with 2000 grit then buff out with a machine and compound. Also paint the sideskirts. bam your car will be looking dope with less than $500 depending if you got a friend in a body shop.

Leave them alone, save your money for new headlights, and yes paint your front lip and wing.

I would work on other parts before painting the wheels, it'll make the car look bad and riced out with all those other non-painted parts.

Start cleaning up the headlights, get different HID's (maybe it's just the picture and there not that bad) and start saving up to get everything painted.
