I'm about to try, but first I gotta fix some of the rash. I went to Autobarn looking for VHT's wheel paint but ended up getting some brake paint. I think any kind of paint should do, just make sure you put on clearcoat. If you're going for a matte/satin look, use a dedicated wheel paint/anti-chip/weather-resistant paint so a clear isn't necessary.
preperation is absolutely everything in painting, poor preperation means poor results later on down the track, so take the time prepping it and you'll be happy with the results....
if you have a compressor and spray gun use that, but if you dont the rattle can still produces a nice job!
best of luck

lol, I painted my rims matt black! I painted the two on one side with just those cheapcheap aussie export spray cans ($2ea) just t see how it looks and the prep included a quick wash of the wheel with suds; I liked and then took the time and money too purchase more expensive dedicated spray paint, sand paper and cleaning solutions for the other side; Still to this day, you wouldnt know the difference!!! lol . . .
