if those are actual 3 piece then that's easy, just take the centers out. Otherwise it will depend on if those black centers are powder or paint. If its paint it might not hold up in the oven, probably want to ask them that question. Can always buy them plain if possible then i could coat the centers and lips and its all nice durable powder that way.
Hugger-- I have a couple samples I think will work. If you have a good enough eye I'd just have you lay them on your hood and see.

We need to do those valve covers,coil brackets and fuel rails to complete the look. I'd like to polish the A/C dryer also for a little bling accent in there

I can do black chrome, although its really best shot over real chrome or show polished aluminum as a base, looks cool as hell then. I've shot it over chrome powder as a base and it kinda looked black more than anything, chrome powder wasn't a bright enough base IMO.
I'm sure I could make a magnesium look happen, lots of powders out there.

Does your powder coating hold up to the salty winter roads?
I have chrome wheels on my truck that are getting some small pits in them and I'm looking for something that I can run all year long without having to worry about putting the stock wheels back on for the winter.
Can you do a clear PC over the chrome or do you need to strip the chrome? If you can do a clear over the chrome that would be great. But if cannot I could go all black and maybe either the while lip polished or just the outer edge.
Here is a picture of the wheels. Let me know whatt options I have.
