its more likely for your rims to chip after winter so you'd have to keep repainting them every season. . . at least thats what i had to do with mine.. salt is brutal

I think they look better the way they are now, so I'd leave them as-is.

I say go for it, as long as it's a glossy black and not a flat or satin black. But do it right and get them powder coated.
