Opinions on painted rims?

Alrighty, i was looking at painting my rims, so i photoshopped this pic. What do you all think? and what would work best for painting this? im thinking either plasti dip or maybe truck bedliner.. bed liner would be very strong and resistant to chips, where plasti dip could be removed. the bed liner sounds kinda ghetto bt im guessing it would work very well.

ignore the red on the caliper. i was getting a lil too into coloring stuff

so what u think??

If you do it, powdercoat them.

a MN member just plasti dipped his stock wheels. Says they look good and hold up fairly well. I want to see them and see how long it lasts, but its like rubber so I can see it lasting for a while. I like the ability to take it all off with no damage. Once you bed liner or powdercoat you are kinda f'd.
