i like the idea of stock rims being painted  
but the paint looks too copperish - off a penny color

it’ll look good on the FC, but IMO, maybe a little lighter

Once you go brown, you’ll never turn around.

i think they look decent, but i pic of them on the car might help, the bronze didn’t show up bronzey enough, i would have painted them gold if i was going with that style.

They look good but not great. If the paint had a little sparkle to  
it it would be cool but I think that color on a Black FC wouldn’t go.  
Paint them shiny black with a uber polished lip.

I personally don’t like the colour but you did paint them well. (Im asuming you painted them.) What type of paint did you use? For I am contemplating painting my Stock7spoke either gold or shiny pink.
