That is entirely up to you. It is a matter of preference. The problem I see is if you run the car the paint with come off either by macking a curb or flex from the wheel

Painted wheels don't work as well as it sounds. It will chip off on impact, and sometimes paint falls off even when just mounting the tyres. It is probably better/easier to buy a new set of wheels, not expensive.

Most of Tamiya's spare wheels are sold molded in white/silver/gold plastics, not often black or chrome (except the 2-piece ones). Tamiya's carbon-fibre reinforced 5-spokers are black though.

Heaps of 3rd party options, the ones from ProLine are especially appealing. Check out the 'gumby' model, looks great on Evos imho.
