Sorry, but I think they'd look diy cheap either way.

Paint will not have the durability of powdercoat. There are several members that have powdercoated the OE wheels with good results. Search.

howd they come out?

I would like to add that powder coating wheels can be dangerous because the process weakes the metal, BBS issued a warning about this. Incidently BBS makes wheels for BMW, not all probably but some like the CSL wheels on the E46 M3.

Besides I think a black or dark car in general is best served with a silver or light colored wheel, for a bit of contrast.
