Default 18" Wheels for 2005 LS430

I have the #74179A 18" wheel on my Pearl White LS.
I have a guy here in NY that is amazing at painting cars as well as wheels.
I would like some advice.
Has anyone painted the inside of the wheel black?
Also, what Grey or Silver color would you recommend

These 18" replicas from OEWHEELSLLC are black on the reverse side...It's hard to see in their pictures, but here is a link: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...-Lexus/LS430_2

The stock wheels have what is commonly called a "hypersilver" finish. It's very reflective silver paint that almost appears to be a brushed or dulled chrome. They're going to look the best with this hypersilver color.

Leave em alone. They look fine. Painting them may lead to paint flaking off later on. Spend money on other still like some of the nice aftermarket front grills on ebay.
