I did this and was a vast improvement from a distance. Used aerosol of wheel paint.

Paint the tyres with some grease,after painting you can wash of with gunk.
The main res folk brought us steel wheels was they would not seal tubless tyres,so inside rim was always done,black taxi rims were always giving trouble.

One factor to bear in mind is what is available in lockdown. You can get Hammerite at Screwfix.

Yes I'm leaving the tyres on so it's just a quick refurb to make it a bit tidier,it won't pass a concourse inspection.

Nobody will tell the difference at 100mph.

I did the truck wheels with Hamerite when we got it. Still looks alright

I looked around there during the week while doing groceries,the thing I always find with Lidl is they only stock useful items when I'm not looking for them!

Dulux will do the same job at a fraction of the price.

I ended up getting direct to metal paint made by Leyland,and we always equate that name with quality and longevity....

I've used Corroless paints on various things and it does seem pretty good. You can use the rust inhibitor which looks suspiciously like red oxide followed by the glass reinforced paint. If no rust can just use the glass reinforced paint.

Before and after,the before shot shows the general state of all the rims,I found some red oxide at work so gave them a good coating,then two coats of silver,quite happy with it.
