if u decide to do it you will want to either bake them or powder coat. most your paints will either chip or corrode from brake dust and water/other elements on the road.

...and polishing mine as well. Almost done. Thx for the tips Stealth.
As for painting, powdercoat is the only way to go for longevity. Also, there are many Wheel Sealants available to protect your rims. Remember, it's paint just like your car so they need extra protection. I prefer Poor Boys Wheel Sealant myself. Goes on like butta.
