I ended up going with bronze
wheels off

Not a drastic difference (in pics at least) but it looks good man.

Split spokes would look a lot nicer, but those aren't bad at all.

Not a huge fan of the rims, but as you stated you're getting new ones. but the paint choice was good, and they came out very well!

I used bronze "duplicolor" wheel paint and grey "bright touch" primer which is also made by duplicolor
