Should I paint my wheels? (pics)

So I bought myself some SRT rims and now I'm trying to decide whether or not to paint them black. I attempted to photoshop them on my car to help me decide. Right now I'm leaning toward option 4, black spokes with silver "lip". Tell me what you think.
The first pic is my car now. Maybe someone good at photoshopping can make a better comparison picture.

your not suppose to molest your wheels TNK....

I like the gloss black, but if you do it get it done professionally.

No black. Not the SRT wheels at least. Not on your car.



But that's just my opinion.

Really? I think the all black looks the best out of those options, especially with the amethyst paint.

Hmm... After looking again, maybe it just needs lowered to help it look better with the black?

Edit: Oh... And maybe an SXT wing?
