If you take a look on the Boxster Spec Racing board you'll see that those guys do some wild paint colors with their stock wheels. They'll paint them bright red or yellow to match their car's color or vinyl graphics. If you only want to use them for track days, then paint them the bright color of your choice. Otherwise, paint them black so that the brake dust doesn't show and you don't have to worry about cleaning them so much then.

Personally I'd polish the outer lip too, just to make it cool.
