Forget about painting them yourself. Unmount the tires and take them to be powder coated. With all the rocks and stuff that are hitting the wheels while you are driving, ordinary paint will be full of chips in no time. That's the best way for them to stay good looking for years.

I you do paint them yourself, I would suggest gloss paint as it will be more durable.

i'd have to say gloss black would look best
