Default Painting stock rims

Why do a lot of gencoupe owners paint their stock rims? I’ve noticed for every owner who has aftermarket rims, theres 1 or 2 owners that have the stockers painted black or white. Not starting any drama…just curious. Is it a starting point to modifying until new rims can be purchased?

I painted my stock rims because it was free. I personally haven't found rims that I like enough to pay for either. The stock rims don't look bad painted anyways lol



Here are my rims:
