Yeah, there is this stuff called plasti-dip, it comes in a spray can just like paint, but it adheres to the surface of your rims, and shrinks, to make it like a wrap, it usually comes out less glossier then traditional engine paint. If you don't like that method you can always buy a couple cans of flat black or matte finish black engine paint, and follow the same procedure I did. Some companies that sell matte/flat black are VHT, Rustoleum, and Dupli-color. But keep in mind that flat or matte black is usually very dull, satin black on the other hand has a slight sheen look; between flat & semi gloss, and semi-gloss black is a partial medium glossy surface. Also make sure that if you do a clear coat, that it is a low clear, or you do few coats, because the more clear you use the more glossier the look.
