diy paint or my choice powdercoat them. normally powdercoating is relatively cheap around 30-40 a wheel, but for rotas i would say just diy paint but if you had more expensive wheels then i would spend the extra money and powdercoat them= my 0.02

I have wheels for another car, they recommend vasoline every 6 months. Basically rub it on and then buff it off. Makes a mess but it seems to work. The wheels I tried it on are black, just a thought. It's cheap and doesn't hurt.
