Your not gona get good results with any kind of spray on paint, have it last, no matter what the prep is.. Save up your money.. You need to have them done with powder coat, it will work and prob will look pretty good.. Never seen that style wheel in black... Remember, do it right the first time, will save you headaches, money and time in the end..

it doesn't matter if they are chrome or not, most of the time they will have to strip them (witch is good because the quality of the PC will be good, if no stripping then it can be runny or chip off easy)
google some shops in Houston cuz up here in dallas they go for 45-60 a rim for strip and PC

those are the polished 2500 rims 16x6.5 probably the lightest wheel for a 2500, but they are only 6.5 wide, kinda limits you on tires. but i agree powder coat them and be done with it.
