Default Powdered WS6's (kind of different)(ON CAR)

So I bought some powder off of 98camaro28 after I saw his 10 spoke SS wheels he powdered. It took me some time to get all of the work done to the wheels I bought from all over the place. I even stripped 2 30th anniversary wheels because everyone wants so much for these wheels and I found them for really cheap (may they rest in peace). I don't exactly remember what was in the powder but here is how it turned out. Let me know what you think.

Also, thanks 98camaro28!

98camaro28 was the one who came up with it originally and I bought it off him and added more bronze. I love em'. Should be mounted and on my car soon, I'll post pics ASAP. Thanks for the nice comments.

Now I just need to figure out what tires to mount on these here wheels... Looking for something that is good for the money but still good for my wallet. Any suggestions?

i went firestone firehawk indy wide oval 500. yes i bought them for the name and flame look to the tread! haha I did however notice a huge improvement in reducing front push vs the old kumo estas that were on there.
a good hi-po summer tire with decent tread rating for a cheap price on tire rack

Ok, so I bought some tires on tread depot just now. I decided to go with 2 Cooper Zeon RS3-A's for the front and 2 Cooper Zeon RS3-S's for the rear. Shipping was really low and whenever I get them in I'll have my local shop mount em up and get some on car pictures.

Did you powder them yourself? What powder did you add to what I sent you?

No I had my friend do it for me. I believe to get enough to do all 4 wheels completely we added either more gunmetal or black and we put in all of the bronze you sent.
