The pic on the right does look better. Although the gunmetal rims match nicely with the bra.

If you hadn't already bought the 17's, I'd say stick with the painted stockers and spend your money on something else. But since you already have the 17's, they do look slightly better so I'd go with those.

It would be kinda nice to have the option to switch out your rims to suit your mood. Like switching shoes can set off the look you want at the time. (or maybe you don't think about that, and it's just me...)

actually, i think the black ones look better. I will probably change my opinion if somebody can photoshop the ones on the right in black .

I would rather keep the 17's but both of them look great. Good luck on your decision.
