I used Duplicolor Wheel Paint from AZ actually along with Rustoleum primer I believe. If I had to do it again, I'd go w/ powder coating, but I like my stock wheels now.

Yep, AZ carries the stuff. But the flat black poly wheel paint I got was some brand I never heard off from Kragen. They had only two cans of it and that stuff was bulletproof....even with all the off roading in the mud and snow I did my old forester (seriously heavy wheel abuse)

The duplicolor stuff doesn't hold up well where I live...not at all. It's probably ok for the city where there's nothing on the road.
