Might paint rims....use primer?

This is a dumb question, but should I use primer if i decide to paint my rims? I painted my RRM intake without primer and it came out fine. If I just use good sand paper and make it nice and paint-"worthy", would it still be okay?

Also, what brand/type of paint do you recommend? i.e., what is longest lasting, strongest, etc. I want to do flat black to go along with my front bumper.

Thanks!

My guide of how to spray paint :

but to answer your few questions, here it is.

Use sand paper and acetone to clean the rims. 400-600 grits. Definitely use primer while painting rims. about 3-5 coats. 15 minutes between each. Duplicolor was what I used. i have driven mine for 4000 miles and had a few rock chips. Gloss black definitely! I will have new pictures in a few days.
