I have had success with High Temp ceramic engine paint, gloss black to be exact from duplicolor at autozone.

Duplicolor also makes a paint for wheels specifically. The colors are limited in that they only offer 3 different shades. Bronze, gunmetal, and silver are the only colors that I think are available.

If you're willing to fork over a large amount of money, that's the wayt to go. It may also last longer, but I painted my wheels last winter and it's actually hard to find any chips or blemishes.

Centari 5000...made by dupont its a single stage...tough as fucking nails. its from their industrial line. You can scrape the crap with a key and you have to dig in pretty good just to make a mark. Go to a parts supplier to find out who you can get it from in your area. IE: KOI in the ky,oh,in tristate area.
