you will need to sand ur rims(which will hurt at first) and buy rim paint, paint specially made to paint wheels, although i dont know who sells this stuff cuz ive never painted rims

yeah, its basically very resistant high heat paint, if your really goin to do this, its not as easy as spraying paint, you have to sand each wheel really good, through at least two coats of primer, several coats of paint, wetsand, then clear(for shine if needed) then wetsand some more and allow to dry 100%, if not u risk of chipping paint real easily
