I used nail polish to paint my rims. It takes about two coats to get them looking good. plus they come out really shiny.
if you have problems with getting the rims smoothly painted with Use a hairdryer to smooth out the paint

I have painted a bunch of mine...I spray the backs first...let them dry, and then spray probably 4-5 coats on the fronts...I just use the regular enamel spray paint from Lowes...It holds on well. Make sure the wheels aren't oily or anything. I have painted mine white and black...
