Stick with 193M or Upgrade to 313M?

Hey gang, my tires are at the end of their life. I'm currently on 18-inch 193M (white 335 M-Sport LCI).

I have two options I'm wrestling with in my mind. One is to stick with the set I have, and get them painted black to fit with the rear spoiler / black front grills / headliners.

The other options would be to upgrade to 19-inch 313M. It's the more expensive route. What's your perspective?

why do you have to paint them black?

edit- I guess what I mean is, is it just the stock color you don't prefer, or are they chipped/damaged and need a repaint anyway?

I don't, but am not feeling them as much in their current color...

Plastidip them black and if you still don't like them, get something else.

That's what I would do.
