So ive been looking around at videos and I see some GS500 with white rimes it looks pretty sharp and was curious if anyone had a good way to go about this without taking the rims off? I was thinking paint brush and just white pain and do the rime by hand so I don't get it all over and fill in small spots spray painting might not hit.....

Get a pair of white rims and swap them?

I doubt brushing would work well. You need to get them spotless for paint to stick. Take them off. Clean them. Prep them. Spray paint them.

 It would a ton less work to take them off, get the brake discs off, tape over any openings and the tire and do it that way.

And just so you know, white is going to show every single piece of crud that gets flung to it. If you're good about washing your wheels then this won't be a problem but keep it in mind.
