I used high-temp aerosol. Go to homedepot and buy a can of paint for your barbecue grill. I used BLACK MATTE. If you don't clean your wheels properly before applying you will get terrible results. I used paint stripper to remove the ageing paint and clean anything from the surface. The with some fine sandpaper go over the rust areas(if any). Then give light coats moving the can from one side to another like you were using a professional paint gun. Do not spray in one spot as that will cause a bad finish and the paint will gloop and run. The technique is important.
I used a hair dryer to dry the paint faster and get it ready for the next coat. Use a cardboard box and cut out a hole for the hair dryer nozzle and a small one at the bottom to allow the air to flow through, at the opposite end of the box from the hair dryer nozzle hole. After every coat stick it the box and run the hair dryer for 15 minutes. Come back for the second or third coat, but two is usually good. On the last coat run the dryer for 30 -45 minutes. You rim should be ready to mount. Touch the paint in an obscure area. Try to dig your nail into it. If its soft leave in the drying booth(box) longer.
Saw it.. nice. However I was referring to the stock rims. It looks like yours are polished metal.

I just used a regular enamel paint from a local hardware store.
