Sure the new wheels will be nice, but the expense of doing it would have to be well worth the cost.
+1 what's the worst that can happen? Maybe do 1 or 1 side of the car so you can check it out and have less to peel off if you hate it.

Me personally, unless you want to vomit every time you look at your wheels, why not wait until you need to replace them or at least the tires then do wheels at the same time? You're bound to bend or scrape one or something. I just feel like you've gotta really hate them to spend a bunch of $ when the ones you've got are perfectly fine and may in fact grow on you. How about some nice black Enkei CSL reps for a winter set? You'll still get the look you want and be getting something functional as opposed to a purely cosmetic.
