I just used some rattle can paint on mine, topped off with some clear coat.

Powder coating is a very good an durable option as well.

VHT makes wheel & Rim paint just for them.

I used Caliper paint (because it was what I had) on these.
With masking tape/white grease on the parts that were wire brushed...



After removing the tape/wiping off the grease and installing on bike...



Some day, I might even paint the calipers.

I just used some satin black enamel rattlecan paint on mine - did them almost exactly like Eric - and they look as good as new. I did use that blue painter's masking tape on the "spokes" which took a little while, but it sure looks good.

I think if you were to paint the entire wheel then yes powder coat is a better option, as it appears to be a bit tougher than paint. Texture black would look awesome. But I like an accent on the rim otherwise the wheels can look a bit too dark for my taste.
