Anyone have their stock wheels repainted? How much? And did it come out as
good as when they were new? The paint on these wheels is worse then the
paint on the car, I am contemplating repainting them the right way.

I wouldnt do it. It most likely wont look any smoother if thats what your getting at. The paint and clear will take the same texture as the wheel. Spend the extra money and have them powder coated or chromed.

I second the powder coating. It will look much better and last much longer. You can even have them powder coated in a polished or chrome look, if you'd like, and it will last much longer than actual chrome or polishing will. Just be prepared to have your car unuseable for a few days while you have it done, unless you have some extra rims and tires laying around to use in the mean time.

I have two sets, I just finished cleaning waxing my summer set and they
are ok, but the paint really sucks on them. I would love to powdercoat
them, but I want them to look completely stock in color.
