can anyone recommend a paint suitable for wheels?

it needs to withstand high temperatures and have as good a finish as possible!

thanks,
Paul

high temperatures due to the brake being attached to the wheel!!.....the heat will pass through in terms of conduction heat transfer..
just feel your wheels after youve been on a spirited drive and youll know what i mean.

powdercoated ay??.......anything less expensive??
