Matty Lee's just done a set of track wheels for his yaris.
I'd suggest using wet and dry, starting off with a fairly low grit and working your way upto a high grit. The more stages you do the better and smoother the finish will be.
Primer will need to be sutiable for the paint you use, i.e don't use a dark primer for a light paint.
I sure someone will correct if I'm wrong!
