I would be a more durable route if you were to bring them to a custom wheel shop or powder coating facility that can recoat them in a gold or bronze finish. Spray painting generally will chip very quickly.

Def look into powder coating. I would go with a bronze color to be a little more unique

Powdercoating is the most cost effective route. Its much more durable than paint and it costs much less. You can usually get a wheel powdercoated for $50-$75 a wheel. Painting costs much more because of all the labor involved. If your wheels are in good shape, you might consider selling them and buying new 710s with the custom finish already done.
