You didn't mention the wheels material type. Which brings me to; I didn't hear anything about primer. If the wheels are steel, pretty much any automotive primer that is compatible with the type paint your using, will do. If the wheels are aluminium then you will need a self etching primer such as Vari Prime by DuPont. This stuff will also etch your lungs so mask and a well ventilated area is mandantory. Spread the paint evenly to maintain balance. I say this because flat black is almost run proof so pay attention to paint distribution.
