Im in favor of painted rims. Even spokers look good done correctly. An accent color really makes them look that much better though.

Since this turned into a show of your wheels thread here are mine
polished the aluminum first,then masked off the painted areas.A bit tedious but it was one night in a winter project.
All together with fresh painted hardware.
On the bike.
Just for fun here's the wheels on my SV

Thanks. I like it too. I wish I had the scratch to get it painted...
I'll run it like this this year, and paint it next year.

a little over spray ?
I'm guessing it cleaned up easy enough with some acetone 
I see this is actually a 750ES, not a 1150; looks like it will be nice

I find its easiest to paint once the tires are mounted. I usually mask off the tire and the rim which I will polish. Once the spokes are painted, I rub the faces down with 320 or 400 grit wet/dry paper with a paint stick as a backer to keep it square.
The hardest part is masking things off.
Good luck with your project and show us what you end up doing.
