They will probably chip over time but if its a short term thing till you get your new wheels it should be fine.

i did it, make sure you sand REALLY GOOD, sand blast if possible and make sure you get paint that can hold in that kind of heat, mine look like brand new rims, i kept the chrome ring tho, there nice untill i get buy the deep ones!!! i would recommend it, its cheap, easy and they look nice,
