Stock Argent Silver and it depends on $$$! Don't want to cheap out, but don't want to go overbord either. These are A-Molds for the track! They were stripped and semi polished, and two of them have a crappy krylon job on them that's pretty thin and already coming off.

I have had excellent results with Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating. For surface preparation, they recommend their Prep-Wipe (PW100) or Grease and Wax Remover. It comes in 5 colors + clear. You can get it from their website or vendors such as Summit Racing.
