I did that to mine with a black powder coat. $40.00 per wheel and they look very good. I have those with some low mileage Yoko tires for sale if interested. Would let them go for like $45.00 each.

Jon's, (Vipernicus's42) wheels. Iridescent black powdercoat. I can do these for for 250, plus wheels , powder and shipping. One week turn around. I have spare wheels that I can coat to shorten your down time, you need to return your old ones. Single color only and no polished lip. polished lip, add 100, 2nd color, add 50. Pic does not do justice to seeing these wheels in full sunlight.
Sorry for the blatant advertisement, but I have too many projects to fund.

Ya it's all lighting and the fact that they are dusty from sitting for a couple of months. They are coated front and back. A camera flash does weird stuff sometimes.
