Default Should I paint my new wheels?

Just got these new (to me) Ecco's with the 30's off a guy from Craigslist for $450.

Had my old wheels painted black. Just wanted opinions on whether I not I should put in the effort to paint these ones as well:

I like the black with red... but it was so much effort painting my others. At least I can just throw the old set on and paint all 4 at once instead of 2 at a time with jack stands. I think it'll look good black.
