I just painted my alloy rims black. I used krylon fusion satin black and they came out real nice. Dupli-color also have some enamal paints that would most likely mork good. Just make sure you get all the rust and put down a couple good coats of primer. If you really want your paint job to last i suggest putting a couple coats of clear over the base color. Good luck.

If you have access to it a sandblaster would be better

I'm gonna do mine in Rustoleum Gloss black.

$60 a piece locally to have any 16in or smaller rim sandblasted and powder coated. It's well worth it for the longevity and look.

paint the center of the rim black then match the outer part, i guess you could call it the lip, the same color as your car.
