plasti dip will be hard to clean. Your best bet will be duplicolor.

Clean them down, sand them and paint them several times. Sand them down between coats then use a clear coat to finish it off.

You should but you dont have to. The sanding between coats with a fine sandpaper just allows the next coat to bond better. Wait for the paint to dry before sanding.

after sanding the rims, use primer before applying your duplicolor paint.
