Powder coat.
Just tried repainting my lip on one wheel and the paint didn't stick worth a sh*t. Sanded them, cleaned them with alcohol, used adhesive promoter, sprayed them in a dust free environment, didn't make a difference.
Dont even waste your time or money. Have them professionally sprayed. Do it right the 1st time.

I say paint. If you ever get tired of the color or curb the wheel or scratch it all you have to do is repspray it and it costs you like $10. I've painted my wheels 3 times now & painted wheels for friends. As long as you know what your doing no one will know the difference. I've had tons of people ask where I got my wheels powdercoated and they don't believe me when I say I painted them.

^^ what he said. not worth it..most likely ur going to upgrade eventually.getting paint to stick and stay on the wheel for any length of time is all in the prep,if theyre done correctly paint will not only stay,it will look good. ive done sets in the past and have had success. there should be DIYs somewhere on the site or net
