I liked them more before you painted them. I'm not a fan of all polished/all chrome wheels, but solid black (or graphite/any solid dark color) just reminds me of the look you get with black steel junkyard wheels. IMHO, woulda worked if you had left the lips polished/chrome to separate the rim from the tire. Like this:

(dark) since all dark blends in with black tires, even though I wouldn't choose all silver/chrome/polished myself.

use a black that matches your stripes, and leave the rim silver. that would look great
