Don't think that would work well on rims. I think it's similar to the black oxide finish on impact sockets. What makes that type of finish shine is actually a coating of oil. Without the oil the will rust when any water touches them. Not a good out door finish.

They are just painted a color that looks like gun metal. Those are sharp rims.

Are those the Falken Torque 5 rims? If not they are a look alike.
