    If you paint them, I would use high temp paint since they are steel. Any kind of hard breaking will cause them heat up and ive seen it plenty of times, and then the paint near the middle area starts to peel. I woulf base coat once or twice with high temp, and then color a few times with high temp. Would end up looking very professional and last a long time.

    IMO anything except black or maybe alloy-colour is pretty lame for steel rims. Unless they're just used in the winter.
