No lacquer at all mate, lacquer made them look too brown, like chocolate

I have a set of Volks CE28N's which I had refurbed and then painted in a BWM bronze with a matt finish and if I'm honest I should have gone with a gloss finish as the matt just looks dull.

With regards to the lacquering, I was mainly trying to replicate the finish of the original Volks. If you look at the finish of the wheels in the first 3 pics, they appear matt with a polished or lacquered rim. I might try a different colour with lacquer just on the rim so they match the original finish even more.
