I just used regular gloss enamel spray-paint. I didn't even remove the tires when I painted them 
just too lazy! I just do occasional touch-ups once in a while for chipping. Cheers!

I did the same thing to my aluminum rims and my extra set of steel rims. Used cheap flat black paint though. Can't believe how much power I lose running the steel rims compared to the aluminum rims. They're the same size but one steel rim weighs approx. 10 more lbs. than the aluminum one.

Really looks great and tidy from behind!

I'm glad that you liked it guys! I didn't tape off anything underneath (too lazy), just spray it on and that's it! 
I also plan to paint some parts under the hood with different colors to make it look better.
