You can spraypaint them, but if you drive on the road or on gravel alot, the paint will scratch off around the edges of the rims.
The best way to color rims is by dyeing them with RIT fabric dye. Just dump some of the dye in boiling water (doesnt HAVE to be boiling but it needs to be pretty hot or the rims wont take in the color) and soak the rims in it untill the desired color is acheived. I dye most of my rims black.

ouch Bolivia? 'spose you don't have a Walmart handy do you? damn...
what you need is some stuff called "Rit Dye", or something similar, it's used for dying fabric, so anyplace that sells stuff like that should have it..

Alex,
dude, paint on a car chips also.. put the rims in the gravel you are going to chip them.. the only way I'd paint them is powder coating but they'd have to be made of metal to get the powder to stick..
and yes, you will need inserts for your new tires..

alex you buy dye at your local grocery store not your hobby shop....its Rit,Ritz,Rite(or something like that) Dye....in like 50 billion colors or something...also car paint scratches off too...it's not the paint that cars are protected with it's the gloss coat and at $45+ a quart for decent gloss it's a waste on wheels...now chassis thats another story....attaches is a chassis I did with 3 coats candy red then 1 coat candy yellow and 4 coats candy green and then 1 coat green metallic and 2 part polyurethane clear coat
you can paint wheels they just will scratch off so may as well just use the lexan type paints...i do on my gasers it last quite a while
