If you don't want the chrome of the simulators, take them off. The only reason they are used is because it cost less to polish the lightweight piece than the wheel. Painting over the plating, and making it stick is PITA. Paint the wheel is easier.
Not sure how painting the wheel is easier. Usually there's a ton of dirt and some rust. To do it right they would need to be removed, tire removed, hand sanded or media blasted and then painted and put all back together again.
Sure you could try and tape it up on the RV and use a rattle can, but results usually reflect the approach. Trying to clean and remove rust, tape a perfect circle, cover the lugs, the center cap, stem and paint outside without over spray and drips is challenging.
Wheel covers come off easy are smaller and snap back on. There's no plating, usually they're polished SS or aluminum.

I was hoping I could buy them in black and keep the existing liners for any future buyer. Thanks

OP: Before you go off the deep end, you might want to take a picture of your motorhome and photoshop black wheels on it. Then, if you love the look of it, go for it! (after all, it IS yours, but consider resale as well). Just my opinion.
Resale is another reason to paint the wheels. Buyer has the choice to go back with simulators.

Nope. Your rig, your choice. I’ve never thought (still don’t) black rims or white for that matter look good on anything except a little red wagon. Reminds me of the 50’s and 60’s when it was “cool” to remove the hub caps.
