Here on the West Coast we have Les Schwab tire centers that will strip and powder coat both sides of a wheel for $25 /wheel. They have multiple colors (incl white) and the finish is shiny and much more durable than the original paint.
I had four rusty wheels for a vintage car redone and they look great.
Maybe you could find someplace in your area to do the same.
Man, that is cheap for powder coating rims. I wish we had LS around here.
It's so cheap that I just didn't believe them until I picked the old wheels back up.
49 y/o rusty rims looked like new!
Doesn't get much better than that, low price and quality!
FWIW, my pal, Denny, built a new powder coating setup for the family body shop. He did a few rims and they turned out beautiful. I was kind of banking some work from him for my BMW rims so didn't want to ask about the trailer rims, lol.
Like Charlie posted, some wire brushing, a rust treatment prep, and painting usually meets my criteria for trailers.
