Just stumbled on this, thinking about exactly these two wheels when I go to order my Gator JT. I'm thinking I might paint the wheels and hardtop Gobi to go with the Gator though. Hmmmm......
If you gonna spend good money on rims I would suggest powder coating them instead of painting them. They will hold up better.

I like the Black Rhino wheels, but like was mentioned, you don't get a lot of brake cooling with a solid wheel. Also, mud and rocks and shit are much more likely to get stuck up inside your wheel compared to one you can see to clean out. I like narrow-spoke wheels with large open areas between spokes for this reason. It doesn't leave much room for things to get trapped between your wheel and rotor or caliper.

Did you do this? Was thinking the same.
