I am thinking about painting these rims. I want to paint the areas in between the bars ,where the webbing is. Was thinking about painting flat black. What you think?

You might consider powdercoating it. I think it would look sick.

Paint doesn't stick to chrome well

This would be my biggest concern. It would look bad-ass though.

I think it's a nightmare to tape off, and the paint won't stick well. I have done a few sets of wheels in the past. It took more hours than it was worth to prep, mask, sand blast, prime and paint. Even using DP primer, it still wanted to peel around the edges.

I suggest you buy what you want and forget trying to paint them.
