I dont think paint gonna cut it, if you must get Krylon H2O Latex, I like the way that one works. Dries with a deep shine

they make a specific wheel paint you can get at autozone and i'd give'm a real good clear coat

but i'd go w/ powdercoating!

It's applied electrostatically, meaning the metal is grounded and the applicator imparts a negative charge on the powder...once the powder is on the metal, it's heated to cure it...

The result is a finish that won't chip...won't flake...unlike paint. You can get powder finishes in pretty much any color you can think of, plus flake, shiny, metallic, and other specialized stuff...
