Easiest thing to do is what I did... Plastidip. Very easy, DIY kit that you can even take off when you want. visit dipyourcar.com to see the videos on how to do it. I did it on my 8 and have done both matte black and gloss black. Right now I'm rocking gloss black STOCK rims.

That's a style choice. Follow your own style.
But don't plastidip. That **** looks cheap lazy.
90% of a good looking, lasting paint job is in the prep work.
If it were me, I'd powdercoat as it should be more durable when done properly.

I recommend using Rustoleum engine paint since regular Rustoleum paints might be too soft and will not hold up well. Another important thing is prep. Regarding wheel finish, I like the look of matte.
