Plan on Painting GTS Rims?

Hello All. I wanted to start a thread on ideas you may have if you were to paint your GTS rims. As for some which I have read that do not like their rims. I like them alot.
My first idea was to have them chromed, but here in PR where I live I have not found anyone to do them. I found a company in Cali that would do it for 175$ a rim (they included shipping, si I think not bad).
But as for my pianting ideas here they are:

1. Paint Black, Glossy black, real shiny black
2. Original color but have it painted with a coat of glitter by that I mean like glass sparkles or something
3. Same sparkle (glitter) as in #2 but paint rim black first.
4. Dark gold color

I am also wanting to paint the brake calipers, which if I do will go rally red same as car.
BTW my car is Rally Red in Color. Which rally red is not actually red, you know what I mean
So any ideas??? Please post. Any idea wacky, cool, ricy whatever you come up with. No idea is ever a bad idea. I think?
