its gonna chip and/or flake unless you pu like a million coats on, id spend a few and get them powder coated. itll come out much better. anyway are you trying to get the wheels off the car or off the rims?
I hope you know how to get them off the car, but off the rims take it to a tire shop, itll be about 10 bucks a wheel or so
