Wheel painting idea......need opinions

Well, I can't afford to buy the wheels I really want, so I thought I'd try another idea with the wheels I have. What I want is the 17" Torque Thrust II with the gray spokes. Since American Racing offers about every wheel in polished and some kind of gray except the Hopsters, I thought I'd try my own version. The Hopsters aren't overly popular like the TTII's, but it would still be cool to have something a "little different", if I can say that without sounding too cliche.

I've been toying with this idea for about a year and a half, but finally got the nerve to try it. The color I used is alot darker than what AR uses, but so far, I've not been able to find anything close without having something custom mixed. I'm still gonna look around for a lighter color to match my engine and interior better.

I want your opinions, your honest opinions. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I'm kind of on the fence with this myself, so your thoughts will help determine which way to go.
