Use a very fine grain sand paper and wet sand the finish, then use any old paint over them.

someone needs to tell wheel manufacturers to stop painting their wheels then.

imo, the duplicolor bronze wheels paint is hideously ugly.

the best one that i've seen is rustoleum dark mettalic bronze. you can buy it at walmart.
