But, in the short run, its all about prep work. Acid wash the wheels, and rub them with a fine grit sandpaper. Put a layer or two of primer down. Put a few coats of the paint down, and make sure to let it mostly dry. Let the paint cure over night, then hit it up with a few coats of clear coat for extra protection.
The wheels are still very prone to chips, so they will still get horribly chipped after a few months (depending on how many rocks are generally flying around the roads you drive on).
