Bleh.. no way.. do not spray paint them.. POWDERCOAT them... looks 100% better, will NEVER chip or scratch, and will cost you about $50 if that.

Get them powdercoated for sure if you're looking for a color change. Spray paint might end up looking like ass. :pukey

Paint might come out ok if you know what you're doing... but even so it'll eventually chip... powdercoating will be cheaper in the long run...

my buddy did a great job on his stock gti wheels... did'em gunmetal with a polished lip... they came out nice... can't tell they're not powdercoated... but he'll have to do them again eventually.

Again.. no painty the wheels. Powdercoat.. they are not only cheaper, but look much better than painting.. if you are going for the ghetto look.. paint them.
