I can’t say for sure that there is a difference. My best friend is a body man and painter, and I must say, a very good one. I have seen him paint wheels with regular car paint before. It holds up just fine, and looks great.
Besides that, He has painted engines before installing them with standard automotive paint and it does not burn off, peel or discolor, and it lasts longer than high heat engine paint.
If you are referring to spray paint from an aerosol can, there is a difference. Wheel paint is supposed to be more resistant to chemicals such as wheel cleaners, and hold up to heat from the brakes better than regular paint.
