or i'll take any suggestions on wheel spray paint that won't just chip away.

im tired of reading about these cheap B@stards who spend $30,000 + on a car and then want to do civic mods in order to not spend money, ........ do yourself a favor, save up $450 and do the powdercoating

Well my parents ran out of money for me to mod my car, so I had to do it cheap for myself.
Anyway seriously, have you ever seen those pics of powdercoated wheels breaking? And plus, why spend $450 on your stock wheels, when you can paint the stockers for $25 and then save the more cash for wider aftermarket wheels

first, it's not like i'm going to be using house paint...it's wheel paint. and i'll do all the process (sanding, multi-coats, ect.). it'll look great (just like matt's there), and you can just go ahead and hate me for it.
besides, i don't plan on keeping them for 100,000 miles or anything.
