I picked my wheel paint up at advance auto for like $3 a can, theres directions on scoobymods.com but all you need is to clean the wheels good rough up the surface with some FINE sand paper or a rough pad spray it on in light coats and then add a clear coat so brake dust doesn't work its way into it

i used clearcoat on my wheels on my 3000gt and all it seemed to do was get stained by the brake dust.

Gunmetal > gold. Good choice.

NEITHER. Either buy new rims or stay stock.
