Bedliner.

Love the look.
Easy to touch up.
Unique in my area. (None else around me has bedlined or plasti-dipped wheels)
Cheaper than aftermarkets.
You can just do spokes and leave some polished aluminum ring to give it ultra unique.

My bud did some glossy spray paint, he took it off road scratched the rims then he tried to repaint then and look ummm well they look ugly lol. I went for the spray can bed liner.

Plasti-dip. Easy to remove if you don't like it or need to re-do it later.

Plati dip. Easy to apply and removable if you decide to change...
