Painted Hubcaps: yay or nay?

haha i know some of you are laughin right now, its pretty ghetto, and yes i already put on my flame suit. But i have a black 95 ex coupe and i just bought a street bike so my rims fund is now gone, but the paint on my hub caps is kinda chipping off it spots and the yellowish plastic is showing through so i was going to repaint them silver like they came but i was thinkin what about gunmetal? If anyone has done this let me know if it chips easy or not, thanks.

Do them like they originally came. The EX ones painted GM look kind of fugly, but you could try it and if it sucks just paint them again.

maybe you can just find some someone selling stock hubcaps that aren't painted. theyre probably pretty cheap.

Painted hubcaps and steelies look equally bad to me. Do whatever floats your boat.
