Wheel painting Question?

I have a set of these wheels and tires I bought for my trip to AZ. Didn't want the run flats on the car being I'm leaving in end of December. I'm in Wis. I'd like to paint them either Summit White to match the car or Gloss black. Give me your opinion on the color! Then what's the best paint to use when I do paint them>>> I'll be great full for all input.

OK , you are aware of that if you paint them, they will chip eventually?… Much better option is to powder coat them. But if you want durable paint , look for a two-part paint like Dupont Imron.

Like Eric stated above.

Paint won't last like an industrial powder coating.

IMHO, You'll like the durability and finish better.

The expense of powder coating is it worth it..? I'm only going to have them on the car for 4 months<<

Do you know how much paint costs? It won’t be any cheaper..... In the last year, paint has gone through the roof in cost.
