Default Paint Question

Does anyone know of a spray paint that will give a finish close to the factory aluminum wheels? I just got a set of different rims but the clear is peeling off real bad so I plan on stripping it off but I need something to refinish them with. They are the gambler style wheels from a wrangler.

I might be able to, but I have to see what kind of shape the metal is in behind all that clear coat. I would prefer to be able to strip, polish, and clear coat them but I think they may be too rough for this to look good. Any paint ideas?
