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.

sell them and buy some DPEs
+1 on the DPE idea

But if not I think a black lip would look
