Wheel Paint suggestions?

I'm going to custom paint some stock GT Argents and I was wondering if anyone recommends any particular type of paint?

powder coating

besides that, i'd probably use some high temp paint because those things get pretty hot...and try to use a strong coat on the outside (like a heavy duty clear coat)

dupli-color automotive paint. thats what i used when i painted my cobra's white way back when i had them. primer them, paint them, and then clear coat them, and if you have access too a heat gun. use it in between coats and will bake the paint on there and make it tough. thats the best way i've seen and done them before. if your wanting to sell them, let me know how much. thanks don
