Painted Rally wheels

[xs-style]

when you go to do a set of wheels, what is the best process to use for prep work? My wheels are currently black, and Id like to go back with either a gloss black, or argent gray. I dont want it to come out looking bad two weeks after its finished.

I'd say to have them sand blasted if at all possible, they are a huge pain in the a** to sand. Add some etching primer, them sandable primer of your choice, add paint and you are done. Base/clear works just fine to paint wheels, should last as long as the paint on the truck if you prep them right!
