you can really use any spraypaint but id advise getting some proper stuff for wheels.
see people round here all the time with painted wheels with it flaking off because they bought poo halfords paint lol

make sure your wheels are extreamly clean and rub the wheels down with a scothbright pad, to to make it take the new coat of paint better.
if your not taking your tyres off make sure u mask them well too!

its all in the pain prep. If its flaking off its because they havent cleaned the wheel off properly before applying the coat. There is nout wrong with the halfords paint...i used it for mine and had no worries! Just gonna make sure you do go over the whole wheel with white spirit and tack cloth between any coats that you smooth off...and allow each coat to dry properly.
