Did you take the tire off when you painted the wheel? The rim looks good, i just wouldn't want that overspray all over my sidewall

ya the wheels look okay, but im not a fan of silver tires. You should consider sanding the faces of the spokes, down to the aluminum for a machined look. and it will give depth and contrast the the painted part.
