2013 Chevy 427 Torch Red
I actually have had them painted twice. The first attempt looked good but the paint started flaking within a short time:

They were redone at a different shop with the faces painted gloss black, the barrels are a satin black( hides the dust inside the wheel and then the "time attack" red trim was painted. This job cost $250 per wheel but there has been no issues with the paint. This company uses multiple layers of clear coat to protect the base.
