i powdered my si wheels because the previous owner curbed the **** out of em and spray painted them.

If you got the money, powdercoat them because its thicker and you will not have to worry about chips.

Elsewise, sandblast em or sand them to remove all primer and get to the base. Give them a little scruff with the scotchbright pad. Then 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of whatever color you want.

Thats how i did a set of my buddy's wheels and still holds up.
