not bad, but it looks like you could have done a lot more prep work.

Another easier method is to put index cards in the crack of the tire and rim all the way around ...paint and then just take them off

They look good

You should have removed the balancing strip before painting them, and invested more time in prep work if painting wheels is the route you chose.
