you guys are useless to the OP... wastegates and bov's are anodized so it would be really expensive to get this done to wheels... but there is a solution that is affordable and can be done at home here you go bud have fun.... http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalCast/

i already had this idea and i tried it with the duplicolor paint. itll come out nice if you can strip the clear and all the other **** off the stock wheels. i was dumb and used a grinder on some parts because with the mesh wheels it was really hard to get the surface bare. well there ended up some gouge looking marks that came thru the paint. u can try but i would say you would need to buy the duplicolor base paint they sell for the anodized colors. coat with that then about a can per wheel.
