I would keep those RSX wheels the stock color. I think painted wheels most of the time are rushed and don't look good, personally.

Used the Duplicolor Paints
Stripped using Kleen stuff from home depot
Filler primer
Wheel color is Graphite
Wheel clear coat.
I am letting this wheel dry for about two weeks before I mount a tire on it. On the paint can label say let dry for 7 days.
Good luck

I have painted wheels in the past and had very poor luck, not with the looks or colors, but with longeviety, the hot brake dust(pad and steel) simply discolored and or pitted the paint.
My present wheels have taken a beaten and I think this winter they will get a face lift, I will media blast them clean and try the DuraCoat/Polane coating on the wheels.
