Default ???Restoring my $150 konig wheels, what color????

I bought some konig wheels off a friend and they are all scratched up and the clear in the lip in pitted. I removed the clear on the lip and center lug portion and polished them up to a mirror finish and they look great. Now I'm trying to decide what color to paint the spoke section. My car is a 4th gen lude, milano red and a carbon fiber hood. All colors will be duplicolor wheel paint. I think bronze would look sweet.

I would personally would finish the spoke part of the rim up with eiter gunmetal, bronze, or whatever you like, but would leave the lip one those rims polished.

Either way, post up some pics once you're done (pics of the wheels on the car, not just the wheels)

I've got a 4th gen, and never seen those wheels before, looks like they might go well together

bronze is hot, should I leave it matte or put clear on to give it a glossy look?

I would say see what it looks like matte bronze and if you dont like it spray them with clear.
