sure, they can be painted. Also they can be powdercoated as well. Powder coating would be a little trickier than painting depending on the wheel. Its a little harder to work with the fiber-tape so most of the time in order to get such clean line between chrome and paint most shops want to machine the wheel back to get the clean edges which means there goes the chrome. I've had this problem many times on my custom ATV wheels. I do know that one of myvendors Sin City Wheels offers most of their wheels custom painted any colorand chrome. They do a lot of exotic's and make a damn good wheel. Most are two piece so offsets wouldn't be a problem either.
