use regular paint. make sure the wheels are prepped, cleaned and if you stripped them to bare aluminum your going to need to clean them really well, although youll never get them totally clean. Aluminum is just like that, you can clean bare aluminum and youll still have black on your wipes after 20 minutes. and id reccomend an etch primer specific for aluminum. If you didnt strip them,prep them well, clean them well and then spray them. Using a primer, sealer is up to you but is reccomended depending on the color and condition of your wheels, and also dependent upon what type of paint youll use.
