What brand of rim is that? There was a coating on them that will need to be removed first.

Knowing the type of coating they had will help in giving a proper recommendation.

they are Lowenhart wheels. They use to have a clear on them. I stripped it off about 2yrs ago with aircraft stripper, and they have been sitting in the garage since. I was going to powdercoat the lips then, but now I decided otherwise.
 
I don't think all of the clear was stripped off. Maybe hit it again and see what it looks like. I think they will need sanding though..
