I wet sanded my wheels with 320/400 paper. That got them smooth and removed the cracked original finish. I then put a few light coats of primer (light gray spray) and then finished them in Anthracite Gray, a dark gray wheel paint made by Duplicolor. My car is silver and the Anthracite Gray looks nice against the color of the car. Some folks prefer the brighter silver. For around $10.00 and a little elbow grease your wheels can look very good. I will probably repaint this summer and maybe put a clear coat on top....
