If I was doing that again, then I'd break them down, sandblast the wheels, prime them, and then coat with an epoxy paint. I like the epoxy because it stands up to CaCl and manure, and most of these wheels see lots of manure... The epoxy is hard enough that it stands up to tire bars without marking. Only downside is that you may need to work on the right colors. My Fords have white wheels, so that's fairly easy. It's rather expensive too, but it is a good solid coating.
Know what you mean about installing wet too. I'd blasted, repaired and painted some wheels several years ago, and they got their last coat of enamel from a rattle can in the lot at the tire shop while the first was being mounted..... Twas a bit tacky..... Good luck. PS. The tractor is looking good.
