Now I just wanna know your thoughts on what to do with them. Leave them as is? Paint them black? I'm not sure what im gonna do yet. They need new tires so I have a week or two to get them painted nice if thats what i decide to do. what do you guys think??

I would match them to your Foco color! 8) Powder Coat them though, much stronger than painting them.

Yup, powdercoating wheels can get fairly spendy and if there's nothing wrong with the finish on them now I wouldn't rattle can over it.
