painted rims?

has anyone ever paint their factory rims? im in the process of blacking out my truck and i would like to get new black rims (20-24) however at the moment i cant afford them. so i was thinking about painting my factory 17s or getting some cheaper rims that i could paint black. Has any one done this or does any one know where i can get some cheap rims that still would look nice?


sorry if this is stupid!!

It's been done plenty of times. Grab you a few cans of spray paint from wherever and shoot away.
