Question Thinking Of Painting Rims, Your Input Please! Updated With Pictures!!!

I'm thinking of painting the rims, but I cant make-up my mind between; black, bronze or white with a polished lip. The part that Ill be painting is the silver spokes on the rim and just leaving the outside. If someone someone some freetime wanna photoshop those ideas for me? Thanks

I already have the bronze paint and the primer I need leftover from painting my girlfriend's TC rims.

Looks like you need new tires more than anything. Bronze only looks good when its texturised, not painted. Leave them silver.

Actually all the tires are in pretty good condition.
