They are called WHEELS not rims. Rim is the outer edge.
Why would yo paint Carbon Fiber?

Ducati does it all the time on the R level Bikes, they will paint the CF body panel with the lettering left clearcoated, looks sharp on a bike, dont think I would roll CF wheels on the street though, too many pot holes, for track wheels they would be hella cool though and I would leave them just clear coated.

wow. If you have never heard anyone use the term rim -as in WHEEL, then you are an idiot, and you should sell your e92. Maybe you would fit better in a prius... they have nice RIMS!

Unpainted for sure unless you have an amazing paint scheme planned
