Default Black powder coating chrome wagon wheels

Has anyone seen it done to the 99 fat spoke wheel in a satin/gun metal finish ? My 99 is black with the chrome fat spokes now, and cant decide on what wheel would look better.I like the black or gun metal look.

If your located on the tri state area and like the C5 Z06 grey rims I will probably be selling them with whats left on the tires for 525 dollars.



Just throwing out options but because of wider rims 9.5 fronts (tires decent) rears are 10.5 and the tires are kinda used up) you can't run runflats if thats important to you.

Are those the original fat spoke wheels painted ? Do you know how heavy these original wheels are ? The guy I bought my car off of just paid 800 to exchange the painted silver originals for the chrome that are on the car now and brand new run flats,they are still GM wheels but chromed.Wonder how much I could sell them for ? They have 3000 miles on them.Iam just not into the BLING look even though I they get compliments on how good they look.
