Ok so I recently picked up a set of 7th gen GTS wheels off a car in the junkyard (5th gen celi) Anyway I got them home cleaned them up and noticed that they had a bad case of rust bubbles, also I had gotten tires with them but ended up returning them since they were pretty dry rotted. So I have these GTS wheels and I've been thinking about re-finishing them for awhile, and since I'm about to spend a few hours chipping off the rust bubbles, sanding and priming them, minus well paint them something different and "cool". Soo...I'm really leaning toward painting them white, just was wondering what's everyone's thoughts on this? Granted I have a black car so there will be a pretty big contrast that is bound to catch eyes, however I'm just not sure if it'll be more negative than positive. Any thoughts and advice is appreciated
 maybe pics if someone has painted their 7th gen GTS wheels or whatever

I painted mine about 8 or so months ago, and the paint is chipping now, but i think i didnt give enough time in between coats that caused it, but they look good lol
