I wouldnt paint the wheels, I would have the face redone to a brush finish, if possible, or maybe powdercoated to a gunmetal or something a little lighter, that would look really good on your GS

Default Keep them!

I would keep it as is and drop it just a tad bit more in the front and rear! The wheels look nice and clean on your car!

+1 on everyone else, i think the chrome looks nice but you have a few options:

white w/ chrome lip- be like every other 'dub' enthusiast with a white car and colormatch
white w/ black lip- be very different but id suggest painting the roof black also
black w/ chrome lip- copy lexotic haha
chrome w/black lip- i think possibly the best choice, but again have to carry the theme
gunmetal/brushed w/ black or chrome lip- your discretion.

over all i think gs looks good in chrome, thats just my opinion. but it doesnt matter waht other ppl think.. its all about the owners choice lol you should just go the way you think it right. we can all give you advice but thats our thought and what we like to see on our gs lol GL on the choice!
but i love the look of your gs the way it is!!
im still on stock 16in chrome lol
