I did this a week ago, when i buy new tires i will hit them again and clear them for the winter. But this is how they look now, and tell me wat u guys think. The color is metallic bronze.

More pics soon, Glad to see i am not the only who likes this as well. i had black wheels but the problem with them was that they blended in with the tires. Even with tire shine they didnt look good. So i sprayed them bronze but with them still black. Before done i sandin for about 30 to 45 minutes each wheel. Sprayed but didnt clear them because i am gettin new tires. Need tire help, i have 195/60 R15s but want a wider track like a 205/55R15s. How tall and how wide can i got on a stock 15 before it starts to rub. I had no suspension mods.

Thanks again

i painted mine flat black and took the ugly center caps off. it looks way better than the silver imo. bronze looks good too. the only bad thing about painting the wheels is you realize really fast how much the car needs lowered.

OH!.......nice!
I have a set of those rims for my dedicated winter rims, and I'm actually getting some bronze wheels this upcoming spring for my summer rims. Maybe I'll paint my winter wheels bronze like you did yours so I have bronze rims all year round. Thanks for the pics.

Perhaps if a gold lip was left on, it would look better appealing to me!

But non the less, it looks good!
