Default Painted Stock Wheels - NEED YOUR OPINION

I'm thinking of painting the insets on my stock JK wheels black. I crudely photoshopped this color onto the picture below to see how it will make it look. The first pic is without the color and the second is how it will look with the paint (roughly) I've had my new JK for 3 months and am probably a couple of years away from new wheels. I think it looks pretty cool but would like for anyone to weigh in.

I think it looks pretty good! Maybe play with it and see how they'd look black also..... flat black..... then glossy black....

I think it looks great! It'll take a lot of work to it well, but it could look pretty bad ass if you take your time.

I think it looks good. Maybe use some black electrical take or duct tape on the wheels themself to get a better idea.

Looks pretty cool but I'm not sure how well paint will stay. Many have used powder coat.....
