Nice, like the Copper/bronze....whatever, more than the Green. My buddy painted those(same color truck) with some left over Alumicoat Engine Paint that I had. It looks really good...not too polished and yet they look shiny, like yours, lol. Alumicoat has a LIL bit of a metal flake in it... I got it at Kragen for my engine painting extravaganza! hahaha
Looks cool, Se7!

Thanks Guys for the comments. I too enjoy the bronze/copper mo bedda. It looks more copper cause I opted to repaint the wheels black and then the bronze over it. I think the bronze would stand out more if I sprayed over the polished aluminium. You can put a thin layer of Vaseline on the tires and when the overspray gets on it you just wipe it off. Or air out the tires and put shims between the rim and tire.

The finish on those rims came out great. I almost don't believe you painted it with a spray can. Did you scuff, prime and paint? Polish after you were done? From the pictures it almost looks like powder coat.
