Try some engine spray paint. They're available at your local car parts store, and hold up to stress and high temps.

Re: not buying wheels soon so what about this? (blufke)
Hey I was thinking about doing this for my car. I've been wanting ot paint my steelies white or black.
I've been wanting to paint them, but was thinking it would look to cheap or junkyardish.
Post some pics if you do paint them.

Duplicolor actually has a spray paint for wheels. I used it on my stockies and then used a high heat clear coat. Looks damn good.

I kind of like the VX wheels. I wouldn't paint them either. Just leave them be. It's going to look like you're trying way too hard if you paint them.

I say leave them not painted just give your car a nice drop. If you do paint it paint a gunmetal color. Some guys here have done it to their gsr rims and it came out real nice.

Engine paint will work. Also maybe try BBQ grill paint if you want flat black. I f'd up my computer case so I painted it with some of that stuff, looks pretty nice and can withstand 1400 degrees
