    What kind of color would be best to use ,if i want to paint my wheels?
    Can i paint it with a brush or must i spray them?

    colour is a matter of your own choice.
    brush will look crap spray will be ok but only as good as your preperation, which is a lot!
    powder coating is your best bet

      If paint is your only choose, then Id spray them. Duplacolor is a great paint if its available to you in Sweden. But Im with Age on the powder coating. Very durable and almost as many colors as paint.

        i painted my wheels this past spring, and if you have rust-o-lium there i would recommend it. sand it with 400 grit sandpaper and clean the wheels good; also use a paint prep if you can find it. then use self-etching primer, rustolium wheel paint and the wheel clear coat. mine came out great...just take your time: if you rush you will get runs or miss spots. good luck... dont forget to let it fully cure. if you have access to a paint gun it will come out better, and probably cost about the same.

          +1 on the powdercoating. Looks much better than I could have ever done with a spray can. Cost $85 for each wheel, that included the prep work.

            it makes sense powder coating. with spraying it needs a whole lot of prep and will only last a year if your lucky before it needs touching up or even respraying.
            powder coating may cost a bit more but will last for years
