if you want the most durable finish, you could get them powdercoated for about $80-100 per wheel. If you prefer paint over powder coat though, due to the risk of weakening wheels from baking them, then any paint shop should be able to do it.

If you don't do any tracking with the wheels though, i would suggest powdercoating them since you are doing black. I am assuming the wheels are currently not black, so if they chip, then the color underneath (or bare aluminum) will be easily noticeable once the black chips off since painting isn't usually very tough against rocks and road debris that your wheels will constantly be hitting.

Just get a deck of cards and put them around your rim, sticking them between the rim and tire. Then plasti dip them. It's not permanent, and it's reversible.

^ how hard is it to remove on wheels? When iI had my g35 grill plastic dip it was a paint in the ass to remove. Did not come off in big chunks and I eventually just sanded it down

That's probably because you didn't apply enough plastidip. Once it congregates, it will come off easily.

That could be the case. I bought the grill used and wanted to repaint it so not sure how much he used
