I use regular automotive paint, with a clearcoat to finish it off. 
Preparation is everything. Spray three or four thin coats, if poss 'bake' 
the paint on in a spray booth.

For my last set of wheels, I used an original Audi silver. Older Audi wheels 
have a gold tinge- the colour's called Zermatt Silver.

HTH!
