regular steelies ... i guess you can just paint them with spray paint
if you're talking about mag. I think powder coating is a good idea

Wheel Care Considerations

Does she run the car through the car wash on a regular basis? These places can do a number on the wheel paint. Powder coating (could be expensive) and epoxy based paints will hold up well, but spray can paint might not. Prep of the old finish will be critical for good paint adherence also. Brake dust from some pad materials, if not cleanded off regurlary, can eat into certain paints and clear coatings also.

You can paint them. just wet sand 'em with some fine grit sand paper and then spray a primer and then paint 'em up...but IMO i dont know how good pink would look on rims...
good luck

oh and you dont need to powder coat 'em aint will work fine..i have mine painted gunmetal and i have never had any problem with any car wash and i wash my car once a week at a car wash...

Powdercoating isn't hard, you just need an extra oven and you can do it at home.
