if you're going to go the rattle can route check out rustoleum hammered finish. it's a seriously tough paint, and it comes out intentionally mottled, so you have to use zero care and it looks good.
It's fiberglass reenforced and sticks to EVERYTHING. like, that's both a good and bad thing.

for track wheels just about anything goes. I have 3 sets of track wheels (cookie cutters) for my 944 spec. I have them each a different color.
Standard black with sliver rim, All red, and all white. This way I can track which tires I have since I tell the different sets a part easily.
on my car I like the white the best, but it may not work on ther cars. You could paint each wheel a different color too.

For a track car, I'd definitely do something outrageous. The orange Porsche used on the last gen GT3 comes to mind, but then again bronze colored wheels like these TE-37s have a way of making my pants fit funny too... I say fire up photoshop and mess around with a pic of your car!
