Howdy Gang, wheel painting question

I've had my MINI for about 2 months and love it...what a blast to drive. Tomorrow my sign guy is going to black out most of my crome, and I have a paint guy who wants to paint my rims. He has painted a lot rims for the Baltimore Ravens, so I know he does good work and assures me it is durable....but I'm still a bit nervous. Does anybody have exeperience with painted rims?

Well they are painted to begin with!!

A LOT of people paint wheels, and if hes done a ton of them id venture to guess that hed know his stuff.

As always proper cleaning and waxing will keep them perfect for a looong time.

I had mine powder coated which is a little bit better then paint but, reduces the custom look.
