Default My New Wheels

Hey guys. Just picked up a set on American Racing Ventura Polished wheels off craigslist. They are in pretty darn good shape, just need a good cleaning and a quick polish. They look like this, just not chrome:



I wanted to get some opinions. I'm not sure whether to keep them polished, or paint them. I've always wanted black rims on my trucks, but I'm not sure if black will really match my chrome/silver/maroon thing. I got chrome everything else, cause in my opinion, black just doesn't go well with maroon and silver two tone. But I'm not sure if I want to keep the wheels polished.

Should I just keep them the way they are? Have another color idea? Paint to match maroon on truck?

Give me some ideas guys.

Thanks.

I think I would leave them polished but you could also try to photoshop them black it wont be the same as seeing them in person but you would get the idea.
