Have you considered powder coating them? It's not too expensive and I've seen some rims come out looking really nice.

Thanks for the link, how did you prep the wheels, did you sand them down first, and if so, what grade sand paper did you use?

I've known a few people that have painted the factory Mustang bullit wheels. They've really come out looking nice. All have use DuPont's spray paints.

They did their homework in the sense of they sanded, primed (if needed) 3-4 coats of paint, and same for CC.

I would definitely take them somewhere and have them powder coated.
