Is that Plasti-Dip? Looks good. I was gonna do the same to mine but decided to just buy some black ones with the 10" wides in back. Use my stockers for winter tread and the black for summer tread.

I used krylon fusion gloss black worked really well. Just took some 1500 grit sand paper to the wheel then cleaned up with acetone and paint.
