I polished the rims and spokes before painting then just rubbed overspray off with a garryflex block

Frankly surprised, I have a pair that I brushed 
And they are v close to OEM looking.. as close to new as any I've yet seen..
Did you use satin??
I can see that Shiny paints would give poor results.
