Just think, someone drove around on those tires to get them to that point.
Nice find! Can't make any suggestions regarding paint/colors, though.
Very nice! After you get the tires off can you please weigh them for me? I'm still looking for lightweight wheels.
I personally don't care much for the machined bits on a wheel, I prefer all one color especially for big luxury wheels. Also black gets old quick so I vote grey.

My PPV wheels with OEM sized 265/60-17 tires weighed in at 70lbs each.
My declads with 295/45-20 Pirelli run flats weighed in at 77lbs each......so once you figure in the weight of the run flats (7-10lbs excess weight per tire) I broke even. The run flats I got cheap and thats the only reason I got them.
I will replace the tires before winter and I will be able to shed that excess weight.
gold on grey is hawt
I would keep it as is. These wheels would look cheaper if you will paint them.
I'm not a fan of the machined areas on those wheels. If it were me, I'd get the curb rash fixed, strip them and powder coat them all one color.
I like that they're already close to the body color. Based on what I can see, I think they'll look great. If you don't want them grey, I'd pick something other than black. Black is played out. Maybe a lighter or darker grey, or a bronze color would look good.
If you keep parts of the wheel machined, or polished, be aware that the apparent color of the wheels will shift a little lighter. I noticed this on my Platinum wheels with the chrome inserts on the spokes. I had them powder coated a graphite color. But with the inserts, they almost look silver in overall brightness.
They look pretty good as is, and as you said they almost match your paint already, so I would either keep them like they are or CM.
Black is kinda played out, IMO.
I'm with most everyone else, first time I looked at them on your truck, I thought to myself, self, keep them as they are! But if you are set on making a change, go with your Plan A Chris, color match the truck and keep the milled edges.
That someone was a high school kid. He wasn't the punk you'd expect after seeing these tires, though. He was a really good dude- very polite, respectful and jumped in to help anywhere he could on his own initiative. He's studying to be a pipeline welder. He LS-swapped his OBS Silverado.
