i just did this to my wire wheels (sand blast) and i really liked the
way they looked naked. soooo.... instead of painting them i used a clear
coat to keep them from rusting and if you dont like it you can always paint
over it. two cans will cost about $8.00 and a little time. finding a sand
blaster is a little harder but most places that do powder coating will sand
(bead) blast at a reasonable cost. make sure you "tune-up" the wheels
before painting.
good luck
