What do you all think about the new rims on my TA

Finally got the new rims painted and on the car.
Want to know what you all think
They are 18 inch 1000 Miglia rims, painted metallic bronze
Tires are 245/40/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the back
Bought the rims and the front tires from a guy at work for $400, then did the paint myself.

I give ya props on doing the paint yourself. Looks good. However that color is not my cup tea. Sorry. Im a fan of high polish or chrome. BTW- Your 1st attachment isnt working for me.

Car looks good. Would be sweet if the backs had a lip of some sort, but looks good none the less.
