If cheap is your thing then paint your rims. If you want them to look nice, get them powdercoated. If you get them powdercoated, you might as well go buy new rims. Moral of the story, get new rims.

I painted the rims on my old mazda and they looked nice for about 2 months. Then they started chipping and looking crappy. And I spend lots of time sanding them down and putting like 4 coats of paint on em. You can get a set of wheels on ebay for like 300.
