i would just check out the spray paint area at your local department store. i'm sure they have something that would work.

i would get a HIGH heat paint just in case, and just primer it and paint, then clear it like 4 times... i did it to my cavalier rims. came out really nice... but they CAN scuff up pretty easy.

I just saw some wheel paint at the O'Reilly's store a few days ago...lemme see if I can remember the brand...Dupli-Color: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheel.htmlYears ago, I used good ol' Krylon primer and black gloss enamel on my Celebrity wheels and they lasted the life of the car (over 8 years). Think I used four coats of the stuff.
