Ceramic engine paint or appliance paint or any other high temp paint will work good. Just let it dry for a couple hours and "bake" it on with a heat gun, dont keep it in one place too long or it will blister. Makes for a quite durable finish that will take alot of abuse.

i think it was his buddy, but it should not be more than $60 depending on the price of the cans. I thought about doing it, but my rims have curb rash from the previous owner

look for a teflon based clear coat, it will make them a ton easier to clean later on, and you wont have to clean them as often b/c the teflon will allow most dust and debris to pretty much just slide right off....
