I have a few ideas of what I want for mine once I get my replacement delivered.

Honestly, I scrubbed them well, masked off the portions I wanted to keep shiny, lightly sanded the bare sections, applied primer, wheel paint, and then wheel clear.

Not really a whole lot to it although these wheels do seem to be chipping a bit easier than past wheels I've painted. Could be the specific clear they use or the low temp conditions I painted them in.
