i just painted mine... its soo easy, and cheap. ive had them black for about a year now, and ive only had to touch them up twice. but im a perfectionist when it comes to my truck. i never sanded the chrome, if your talkin about the chrome clad wheels, you can sand off the chrome and the paint will stick a million times better than if not. IMO thats the best way to go. i think i spent $25 in all... i dont know bout you, but thats $575 better than powdercoating. im gonna do the same thing with my "brand used" rims next week.
