if you plan on shooting your wheels with a can then it doesn't matter what prep you do.
buy a Daewoo, than no one will care if your wheels look like sh * it

do not rattle can it bro!!! seriously. it may look nice to you at first, but because im guessing u have never painted before. everyone will notice the runs and imperfections in that rattle can paint.

spend a little extra. go to pep boys, and pick up an hvlp gun for like $70. then get yourself some black paint, and clear the puppies when your done. water sand in between. dont half ***, cmon.

IF you really painted cars at a body shop you wouldn't do a can job

320 is a little too rough to spray over you'll have a lot of sand scratches at least wet sand with 400 if your looking to sand quickly. personally I would just go over it with Grey scotch brite pads.

it should be finished with a minimum of 800 grit but if you paint at a body shop i'm sure you already know that.
