hmmm.....if you powder coating them gunmetal, keep in mind the "webbing" in between the spokes will now be more exposed. cuz' now, you have a nice distinction between the chrome and the black...know what i mean?! otherwise, it would get too chunky and it would totally lose the mesh look.
my vote, keep 'em the way they are.

Saw a wheel over the weekend at Donz East Coast store. It had a painted black lip with the outer ring chrome. Looks pretty good.
So none of the choices. I'd say painted black lip with chrome time attacks.
