Thanks guys!
I hated the snowflakes and didn't have the money for rims so I painted them figuring I can buy another wheel tires combo later and mount some DR's or ET drags and run the snowflakes at the track but ended up keeping the snowflakes simply because they work soo well on the car.
I used Duplicolor Wheel paint gunmetal and clear. I also I took my time with prep and sanding between coats and painting them so far around 20K on them and only a couple chips.

I just used duplicolor primer and paint. Its almost been
a year since I painted them and they still look pretty
good.
I don't really have any close up pics, but I can try and
take a better one tomorrow if you want.
