The chrome wheels are a plastic insert installed over normal steel wheels.  You can probably get a set of steel wheels, do a good paint job, and get better results.

 

Brake dust tends to stick to plastidip more than paint.  Wheels also get hot (from the brakes) and that can bake plastidip into an ugly mess.  Plastidip also has a very short life, if you follow the instructions it states it should be removed in less than 6 months.  Have you ever seen the nasty mess that happens if it isn't removed in time?  And that is on normal surfaces, not something that gets the severe heat cycling of the wheels
