I am not sure but you could probably have them powder coated.

Doesnt sound like he wants to spend more than 10$.

You could get a set of wheels for under 400.

painting them will work, but they will be harder to wash, i painted my old ones white to match the car, and they looked real good till they got dirty, and the only way i found to clean them was with water and wipe with my hand, because a washcloth would just smear the dirt. Not sure how long the paint will last before it peels, i sold mine after about a year, but only had them on maybe 4 months, the rest of the time they sat in storage.

you can get a hardening appliance epoxy. it will harden and it is very easy to clean then. i was thinking about painting mine black, but havent got around to it.
