Have them powder coated instead

[daragez]

powder coated and put them clear coated paint.

Go find a powdercoater in your area that does rims. Spray pain works, but not as good as powdercoating them. If you want to just see how they look in "X" color you can grab any kind of spray paint that works on metal, prep the rims, and spray on. If you like the look go get them powdercoated, it lasts MUCH longer.

I say paint them and clear them because painting is cheap and to powder coat the rims is close to 100 bucks per rim.

[kidicenj]

powder coatings pretty expensive for me so besides that just buy what like regualar paint? any certain or special kinda paint i should buy?

Its a nice color, but try the powder coated...

You should by a wheel paint.

dupont wheel coating or rustoleum wheel paint. both work great with a light primer under them. then dupont also makes a clear wheel coating to go on top as well!

[WIMSPWI]

im an idiot, not dupont lol....duplicolor is what i meant! i was thinking wheel cleaner there at the same time. so yeah DUPLICOLOR wheel coating.
