well, sand down the entire surface of the wheel itself. make sure its smooth and what not. clean the wheels with a denatured alcohol of some sort, or a surface cleaner to make sure the surface is completely clean. primer the wheels, make sure its smooth again, maybe wetsand a bit. then spray your paint, make sure you spray evenly. its really easy to notice on wheels. make sure its exactly how you want it, and then clearcoat them. its really simple.
now, you can get the paint anywhere really...

thanks and where can i get the primer ?
i would just use the regular stuff. i would say two coats of primer, and 3-4 coats of paint. 3 coats of clear... you can get the primer anywhere you get the paint
