At it again...Another Wheel Restoration

[06YarisRS]

I've got to get control of myself. I picked up another set of Accent wheels with virtually new rubber. These wheels are in better shape than the set I just restored were in when I got them.

I have taken some of the advice offered by others. I plan to paint these a different color. I am heavily leaning toward black but not sure if I ought to go gloss black or satin; solid color or metallic. The other option is gunmetal grey, but it's less likely than the blacks.

The other decision I have to make now is if I will go full 2K paints or rattle can these ones. I know that I can get an excellent finish with acrylic enamel paint and clear coat spray cans. It would be a lot easier and much less work. The wheels would obviously never see winter and they will only be on the car part time. I've read many reviews of the Duplicolor products (many of which I've used) and apparently the wheel paint is very durable. I am however considering a single stage urethane - apparently the toughest finish, next to powder coat, I assume, and even tougher than basecoat/clearcoat.

Anyway, feel free to weigh in about color and finish (satin or gloss) if you feel so inclined.

Here are the new wheels:
