Need Some Advise On Wheel Mods

Should I Paint The Center of My Wheels? I have been running these Enkei wheels for about 6 months now. I like them, but not digging the polished center sections anymore. Don't want to invest in new wheels yet, need that money for my new exhaust & ECU tune. Thinking about painting them myself with some primer & spray paint since it's a relatively small section. Should I do it? I was thinking about Satin Black since it will be hard to match the anthracite color. Should I paint the center caps as well? Any advise or opinions would be welcomed, thanks.

you can probably leave the caps as-is.

if there's clearcoat on the center polished (silver) part, you just need to
sand it at little with 400-600grit, mask, and spray away.
