Nothing too good. Honestly, the signature pic is quite a bit darker than they actually are. Here is the best I have...

Good friend of mine is a painter. A friend of his with an NSX had to have his wheels sprayed for one reason or another. The guy had some leftover paint, so he sprayed mine for me! He just broke the bead loose on the tires, then sprayed it.

There is also going gloss black on the ap1 wheels, but just about everyone has done that. I've seen bronze, but honestly was not too impressed by it.
Perhaps a gunmetal shade would be best

Ghetto eh? There's always Rota!

You should paint them for the event - green, orange, red - something like that - $1.99 high temp spray paint. No need to break beads - just tape up the tires.

Longevity - it
