Laquor paint gives the best original look, but its been discontinued. Eastwood is the closest thing to it. I wouldn't use Imron, that is some dangerous stuff, fumes are deadly! Also, if you ever want to repaint them, it will be impossible to get off.

Rally Wheel Paint
I have used Eastwood's wheel paint in the past and found that the argent silver is nearly an exact match and also very durable

It is best to pwder coat them. Painting will just cover the metal and allow rust to develp. Powder coat them to seal off the metal.
