I really like black rims and they would look good on your Ex but if you do do it right. I seen an Ex yesterday that they painted the rims black but didn't take the time to do it right and the paint was coming off. You could see crome where the paint was flaking off, really looked like crap.
i say leave the face how it is and do a high gloss on the curved rough spots. if that makes and sense. i say a 2nd gen with it done and it made me think about buying a set to do that
Flat black with the chrome caps get my vote. I painted some 15"X12" wide chrome wheels black on my CJ-7 Jeep and had polished SS center caps.I sand blasted the chrome wheels with aluminun oxide media in a sandblasting cabinet where I was working.If you don't do that the paint will flake off.Some people say they use a scotchbrite pad or steel wool but they don't work as good as the blaster.
