if you strip the wheels down and use the duplicolor wheel paint and take your time and do it right you will have no problems.

i had a set of hx wheels i stripped down and used the wheel paint to paint the inner portion and left a polished lip and it turned out really good and lasted a while. i got rid of the car with the wheels on it so im not sure how long it actually has lasted.
