Thanks. I did not prime or prep all that well, just wanted to see how they looked. I did hit with some 320 grit to get the rust spots off and hit the dirty areas with some carb cleaner, then a good scrub with the tire brush, rinse and let dry in the hot *** sun this weekend. Some blue tape and that was it.

The wheel paint is a decent product. When I first hit the metal with it I saw metal flake in the over/back spray. I did get some shine to it but again with better prep I am sure it would look better, or even the clear coat. But for $6 I am happy with them.

Got a set today, really nice shape ones, $5 each. Tried to talk them down but was not gonna happen. They had prob 10 more of many different ones. I got the metal ones with the tabs. Now to clean them up a bit and snap in place. Thanks for the info on them.
