rustoliom worked great for me. I did black metallic. like 5 very lite coats and then about 3 lite coats of clear coat. Took me two days but they came out great and have lasted pretty long. just make sure to clean the **** outa em before you start painting. i also sanded mine lightly.

They sell duplicolor wheel paint at autozone or pep boys it should work for your purpose and has instructions in preparing you rims before painting. I painted my rims gunmetal but didn't like them and removed the paint so they look like stock again.

Powdercoating is not a DIY job, you need to take them somewhere, so in theory, you should have success getting rims powdercoated. I had a set done, I was very pleased with them, but then sold them.
