sounds like airplane
not much more else to say-
if you do it right with a rattle can of duplicolor it's as good as anything else finish wise (but better because you can touch it up at will yourself)
if you do it wrong it looks bad- people will say they look bad (those people have done or seen wheels done wrong with rattle can).
painting isn't easy
in the last month i've done a couple sets for friend's (one set matte black with red lip stripe on 2008 civic si stockers, one set just silver re-paint for an s4) and the stock rims on our G35x in the dark graphite.
I've also sold wheels which i have repainted (usually on ebay) and gotten positive responses.
i wouldn't paint the wheels on your car now unless they are curbed. also, gloss black is difficult to paint and you may be best served paying someone to do them right.

oh the in and out burger! i love those burgers. simple menu but GOOD FOOD! anyone ever been to sausalito (across golden gate from SF) theres a burger place there on the strip that makes INCREDIBLE burgers... that would prob be a much cooler drive too... across the bridge and on to sausalito where a bunch of people are walking around, you can parade the 202's for max eposure

if ur interested i can call my brother who lives in SF and he can tell me the name. it shouldnt be hard to find anyway. its directly facing the ferry dock. this burger joint is seriously like 5 feet wide lol! best burger ive had to date and ive eaten all around the world... in addition to being somewhat of a glutton 
check this burger out. its here in atl, called the Ghetto burger, at ann's snack bar.
