No way, don't paint them! Waste your money on something more useful.

sell them and spend that money, plus the money you are planning on using for paint, and get new wheels and tires.

I gotta agree, sell them and get some new rims. I think a set of XXR's with rs3 green center and deep polished lip would look sexy! Or be gangsta and paint match the lip and keep the center black like the pic below!!

If you have a color that really stand out and pops like the rs3 green, then a color matched lip looks HARD, just like this ZSB Z06.
