      Unhappy stock wheels

      I have the stock wheels and I'm wondering what paint to use on them... They are getting a little rough looking and I would like to clean them up a bit. I don't do this stuff much so what would be the best procedure here? My ride is the color spicy orange...Any good color ideas or just black again? thanks in advance

      Personally I wouldn't paint them any color other than black due to how dirty wheels get. Rustoleum brand is good for painting steel. The important part is getting them totally clean before applying the paint.
