Do it yourself, it's really easy to do.
Grab some high heat primer, some dupli-color wheel paint, and some really fine grit sand paper.

Duplicolour Wheel Paint is the way to go. Just make sure to use a good self etching primer. Normal primers won't properly bond to aluminum due to the slight layer of oxidation.
