should be a cast aluminum alloy like most other non-steel wheels (steel wheels being what some refer to as steelies or blackies, the kind that use hubcaps).

What color are you painting them? Are you taking the tires off? Or just going to use the good old card trick?

not if you paint then well they shouldn't and just to be on the safe side clear them at least once ..
