You definetely want to base/clear them black, not just use wheel spray paint. It would look good.

You can spray paint them if you do them right with plenty of prep, and they'll turn out great, just not as durable. Did mine with Duplicolor engine black, and wheel coating clear spray paint, they turned out good... They get a few chips every now and then, but i have a touch up pen for that. I would have powdered them if i wasn't getting new rims end of this summer...

That gold lip does look good. Mine have a bright red lip that I did just the other night. It's the same paint as my calipers and the SS emblem on the fenders. Looks great if I do say so myself...
