no dood..ok go to schucks and get aircraft paint remover. spread it on, and the old paint will bubble up in no time and u can wipe or wash it off. clean and wetsand ur wheels with maybe 200-400, dry. and paint. any paint will work. do u want a BLACK BLACK, or a gunmetal color. if u want gunmetal, i sugggest u get duplicolor wheel paint. its 5 bucks at most for a can..thats all you need. if u want black black, use duplicolor engine paint. regular spray paint will prob chip hella quick.
