the only reason i painted mine were for temporary purposes... all the chrome coating was cracking off on 3/4 wheels... and it looked nasty... so it cleaned it up a little...

i personally will say...No, unless there was a problem and just a temporary fix... when i was done... it looked cleaner yet so much cheaper...
