RE: Opinions, please
Okay, here's a picture with the wheels more black:
And here's a picture with them orange. I had trouble getting a true grabber orange without a lot of work, and this is too bright for one thing, but it will give an idea:

RE: Opinions, please
I'm at work, so I'll have to be judicious about doing much of this, LOL, but I'll try to see what it would look like with a polished lip. Well, it would be silver paint, actually, since that's the wheels I have. The only problem with doing that is that I have to mask it off, and it will be hard to get a good clean edge. Part of the reason for getting them painted is to get the best look I can without spending thousands of dollars on wheels and / or tires. I mean, if we all had all the money we "need", we'd all have Ferrari's or something, not Mustangs, right? Or at the bare minimum, we'd all have a fully tricked out Shelby / Foose / Saleen / Roush / whatever.
Anyway, I appreciate the opinions so far.

Okay, here's black with silver rims. I do like the look, but the only problem is that it will be hell to mask the wheels this way since the spokes curve into the rims with no sharp edge. It will be hard to get a good line with the masking tape. Maybe someone with more skill that I have could do it, but I don't think I'll be happy with what I could do.
BTW, the problem with powder coat is that it not only costs much more to do, but also, I'd have to remove the tires, valves, and TPMS sensors. Heating them up in an oven probably isn't a good idea. So, powder coat would cost significantly more, be lots more work, and take my car down for longer. It is my DD.
I like my spinners, BTW, but then I was in high school when the original Mustangs came out. Spinners were pretty common in those days. So, they're a nostalgic look for me. Like I said, everyone's got an opinion.
I think most of you are agreeing with me on the black wheels of some kind, though.
