I bought five 16" steelies for my Ford Bronco and would like to paint them black.
According to Chris Fix, a famous youtuber, he recommends sanding the steel wheels first before painting them in this video:

However, the steelies I bought are take off wheels that someone used for only 50 miles before upgrading their wheels, they weren`t painted.
I am attaching some photos of the wheels so you can see what shape they are in.
Do I really need to sand them first before applying primer and matte black paint? Or can I skip sanding them?
Bonus question:
Can I use Rust-Oleum 249088 Painter`s Touch 2X Ultra Cover as primer

and can I use Rust-Oleum Black BlackRust-Oleum Automotive 251574 11-Ounce Trim and Bumper Spray, Matte to paint them?

About how many cans of each product to cover five 16" rims?
