Re: painting wheels
i had a friend that painted some wheels on his car one time. he took the tires off the wheels and sanded them down smooth and bought some paint that can withstand heat and painted them and clear coated them and they looked good. he had them on the car for over a year before he sold the car and they still looked good when he sold it.

Re: painting wheels
When I still drove my '01 Blazer, I had the stock wheels powder-coated a mirror black and they turned out great. They really changed the over-all look of the vehicle and I've had lots of compliments on em. Good luck with however ya decide to get em done. Oh yea, Ill try to get some pics of em when I get the chance.
