I'm in the process of powder coating these in a flat 'murder' black. They should be ready to mount in about 2 weeks.
I'll post some pics when they're done. What do you think of them so far?

I kinda like as is...but all those nooks and crannies look like a headache to clean so I guess black will be good fit. What color is your car?

A close friend who got the wheels for me is outsourcing them. I can find out and let you know if you are interested.
