Default Is painting rims worth it?

Got a set a silver XD addicts on my 03 CR, and I'm thinking about painting them black. Just wondering if anyone else has had a set of rims painted, and is it worth it. Want to know if they look good and does the paint chip or anything?

Better off having them powder coated, paint will chip
