I was kidding, but you could really do it. I was talking about making outlines for spokes that would be painted on by painting the wheels black, then chrome spokes on top of that. The caliper painting kit that I recently used had a spray cleaner for before you paint; I think it''s brake parts cleaner, but I''m not sure. You should clean the wheels well, pre-sand with 1000 grit wet paper, re-clean then paint. Also, paper and tape the tires to keep the paint off of them. If I were you, I''d clearcoat as well to protect the paint. If you want a dull appearance, you can wet-sand the clear with 1800 grit.
