Couldn't afford masking tape?
I do like the black wheels though. Looks much better than I would have thought

Solid effort! Did you use the proper caliper paint?
Looks really good apart from the matte tyres you now have

You know what they key is to painting rims?
Just cut a big circle (16", 17" or 18" depending on your rim size) out of a beer carton. Hold that up as your template as you spray - no over spray on tyres
Beer - having more than one use since 1873!
