+1. Although when I refinished mine I used Rustoleum Cold galvanizing paint as base, then topped with aluminum. You could use black. Mine look great and I use a standard socket on them.

I know this will sound strange but I painted mine while on the wheels. I took a plastic soda bottle and cut the bottom off about 4 inches from the opening so it looked like a funnel. The opening fit perfectly over my stock lug nuts and I spray painted them. The wider funnel part of the soda bottle protected the wheel getting any over spray.

Very clever! I think I will try that.
