That Krylon would be fine. Really, just about any paint is OK. The most important part is the prep, or it will chip or flake very quickly.

Degrease the wheels using dishsoap (or I rub them down with denatured alcohol).

Scuff up the surface to allow the primer to bond. Either use sandpaper or coarse ScotchBrite pads.

Use a good and compatible (with the paint) primer. For your Krylon paint, Krylon's primer works well.
