yeah, i used the paint on mine. it worked pretty good. just do 2-3 coats and clearcoat it. also, tape off your tires, cause it doesn't come off very easy. the clearcoat makes a very nice gloss, just as long as its done evenly. i need to redo mine cause i messed up the clearcoat. its easy if you take your time. it holds up well to. i've had it on since like december with no problems. 2 cans plus 1 clearcoat can should do 4 wheels

i painted and clear coated mine, i used minimal masking tape.
it turns out that paint thinner, steel wool and a rag takes off overspray.
old as well as new overspray, just dont scrub the rim.
