thats what i use on my wheels and the other wheels that i have painted and they have all come out very good, any kind of primer is fine, the hi temp paint is so much more durable and harder than most other spray paints, just make sure you clean the rims very well, after you scuff then lightly with an s.o.s pad, clean and clean some more, clean surface area will make certain a good stick, have fun dude........
