Wow, those turned out really well! This makes me think once again that I really need some new summer alloys for my Accent.
The current ones are great “looks great from 100m away” wheels from a 1998 Ford Escort that I think actually fit the car quite well, but they are curb-rashed and beat to shit (neither from my doing - they were pretty beat when I got them as I got them for really cheap!)
Old pic, but you get the idea...look great from far away when the car is clean, but up close...
Hard to see, but a lot of curb damage and scratches and the like...I’m not the best at painting, etc, so I’ve considered sprucing them up myself
Mighty Car Mods style
, but not sure I would have the skill and they would need a lot of work...

I’m taking the summer tires from the gray Steelies, then I need to buy some winters and mount those on the steelies

I just sanded the road rash parts then bought some dupli-color gold wheel paint from CanadianTire. I had no masking since tireless.
With two cans I got 3 lightish coats waiting 10-15 between coats then 2 coats of clear.

Good plan, excited to see the end result!

Great job, now cross your fingers they get mounted by a nice wheel tech..
I could probably redo mine but the gravel chipped winter look is at least authentic..

Some of the road rash is pretty deep on mine. What did you use t
o sand with?

Some 300-320 grit paper I had lying around. But we still see it on the bottom of second mag from the bottom of the second pic.
