If ya paint them it's easy to touch up those little rock chips with a "Sharpie".

Powdercoat them or buy something else.

I have black on black (aftermarket wheels)... The reason I like several aftermarket wheels over powder coating is because of the allow wheel lip. THe one minus of this is that it does make the wheel look a touch smaller, but the polished alloy goes so well with cleaned exhaust tips, rotary accents, and the shiny badges our car has.
