I've used Dupli-color Chrome spray paint on my wheels. They seem to match the stock rim's color pretty well on my 240. I've not tried the paint you are referring to. That paint may be more durable than what I use.

What I did is clean the heck out of my rims, spray Extend on them since they were rusting, them the chrome paint, then some clear coat spray.

One rim is getting a bit blotchy and likely will need a re-do soon.

Spray-painting is not a durable as professional powder-coating, but it's cheaper and looks good from a distance. My wheels look really good when I shine up my trim-rings!
