Thanks all! Yeah, it's a dark metallic green (Botanical Green). I wanted a warm bronze, but nothing that really had red in it. I went to our local auto paint supplier and we took out paint chips of the Jag color and held them up against other 'bronzes' to find something that'd compliment without going crazy... and without going brighter than the interior. These are overcast shots too, so... they look pretty dark. In the sun it's even better. I wanted dignified. And... well, these make SO MUCH BRAKE DUST that I wanted something that didn't show the dirt so well too. /chuckles.
I have an Orange 350z with Rays 5 spokes on them in bronze and I love how well they hide brake dust.

Could you please post the exact Bronze color reference you used?

Up here in Seattle we are pretty shy on sunlight these days, but I'll see what I can do in the garage. I've got 5k LEDs in the ceiling and I'll get my 5k flashlight too.
The paint itself is a Wesco Lumabase paint. 929485. I’ll include some shots of the paint can. I was at a Wesco shop doing the paint chips and they had more and bigger samples of the Lumabase collection.
