I would paint them and take the inside rears and paint those red so you get just a hint of red in the back

Paint em for sure, but DEFINENTLY leave the chrome on. Too many people do the completley black rims IMO. You'd have a custom but unique look if it ends up like in the pic.

i have actually considered some 19.5s, but was looking for different options to save some money. Matt (mojo) a buddy of mine just got some simulators and they look good.
