Firstly any paint needs a toothy surface to grab onto, That's a sand blasted or ground surface.
Primer grabs best on metal and then the finish grabs onto the primer.
While some finishes are better than others on a cost/result basis I like Tremclad enamals as a good all around finish.
Best probably is a wash etch primer followed by epoxy enamels if cost is of no concern.
By the time you add up the solvents, hardeners and product costs you might just equal the cost of the rims.
