I'd recommend Dupicolor Wheel paint and primer. Mine worked great.

I used the cheap Walmart flat black paint, I think they were $0.92 a can. It's been holding up great for the past 4 months now, a few gouges and scratches from rocks but no chipping of the paint. Just make sure u prep the wheels really good. I sanded mine down with a green scotch rite ball drill attachment and a regular sc brite pad for the hard to get areas, clean with rubbing alcohol and spray away
