Like the calipers... Not a fan of the wheels TBH. I've seen too many bronze painted OEM wheels.

What kind of caliper paint did you use?

Looks like you did a pretty nice job. I know that the bronze wheel is played out to a lot of people, but I think it looks good on your ride. I wanna do something similar to mine, but I'm a little worried that I'm gonna hate it.
