Default People with painted black wheels

Just a question for you guys who made your own black wheels. Do you use anything on your wheels to keep them dark? I painted some Special Edition rims but Im starting to wonder if they will turn white or faded looking in time? Wax probabaly would just take off the paint, how about armor all on the wheels?? I know it sounds cheesy but what else will keep them a dark black?

if you want to keep them dark, use a semi flat or semi gloss paint. and just keep them clean. dont go gloss, it looks wack and theres more of chance of drips. you can always just respray too
