If they(stock wheels) were rusted and pitted, I would have said plastidipped, but they look like they're in good condition.

The first set look real good if you put bigger tires on them. I have those rims with 31s on and i love the look of it but not with small tires. The second set is just another set of aluminum rims just with that paint. Those im pretty sure arnt stock rims. If you put bigger tires on the first set then i like those better. I like the black ones better for stock tires.

They are not rusted but not in very nice shape in the center. I might try the clear plasti dip to hide it a little.

get some gloves, muratic acid in a spray bottle, a green scotch brite pad, spray the stock wheels, scrub, rinse off and you will have clean bare aluminum, then have them cleared again.

gas is an oil based substance, paint/clear coat and oil don't mix.
