If you've made up your mind, why are you asking for our opinions? 
If that's what you want, go for it.

What I do know is that I have the gunmetal ZR1 replicas from OE wheels in Sarasota, FL and the finish is painted on, and hasn't faded or chipped or anything. I don't know how a painted finish could tarnish. You'll be fine.

This is a pretty STRONG statement from someone in Florida.
I only visit the In-Laws for 10 days a year around Easter, but I do know that the Sun in that region is plain old TREACHEROUS.

Yes, I put on some great wax, and wash the car a lot. But hey! I'm no ImpalaBalko----that guy's washing his car practically in the snow per his pics.
Good luck with the wheels. You'll like 'em and I'd be willing to say, you'll have no problems with them.
