I would get them media blasted first.

would be good run them thru a glass beater or somethin if you had one available but at the very least take some 80 grit and scuff them so that paint will actually stick to them

use 320grit and give it a lite water sand so you dont make huge scratches, then use primer sealer, followed by your paint lmk how it comes out

i think i will do that but what is water sand

['93accordse]

depending on how the rims are chromed and how many layers, they will most likely need to be sandblasted/ media-blasted. Otherwise, you're new paint will not have good cohesion, no matter what you sand it with.

get 320 grit sand paper and a little bucket or cooler of water then dip the sand paper in, and keep the surface you are sanding wet and sand away, this keeps the scratches to a minimum compared to just sanding it dry, the paint should grab after that you can kind of judge if you need a more fine sandpaper or rougher its up 2 you.
