Default Should I paint?

I have these wheels on my 2002 black silverado, they are corroded pretty bad and the clear coat is pealing off. Should I paint them black? Any opinions on how it will look? Thanks! The truck is 100% stock but I plan to tiny the windows. Thanks for your help.

I agree. You can find used OEM 5-star 17s for less than $300 locally in most places. I sold mine for $200, and they were in pretty good shape.

Way back in the day I plasti dipped one of my winter spares just for the heck of it. It'd have looked less redneck if the cap was black and the tires weren't 245/70s Lol. with some slicks or something Lower profile, it'd prob look alright. I agree tho. May as well go with 17s.
