I've got some nice new chrome wheels but I'd like to paint the spokes car color and leave the rim chrome. Any tips on how to do that? Thanks.

Two options I know of, bud. First one is to get a very thin brush and do thin layers of paint over n over. Then clear it to seal it.

Second option takes longer but looks better in the end. De-chrome the wheels primer, paint, mask the spokes then chrome the rest of it again. About a weeks worth of work maybe more depending on the paint you use.
