Default Thinking about painting my wheels

Yes to the wheel color, no to the blue rings.

You could just stop washing your wheels and it would look the same.

It's definitely possible to do it and have them come out looking nice, but if the goal is a nice clean color, I would choose something other than brake dust colored paint.
