I would say, sand blast the rims or some like material. Then choose a spray paint for rims. No tires on rims of course.

ive always had good luck with cleaning, scuffing them up really good and take your time painting them. never hurry on the paint many light coats make for a better finish!

Hose em down with degreaser, pressure wash them at a car wash, scuff them up with sandpaper to get rid of the high and low spots...
primer, paint, done.
