Just my 0.02 but how about polishing the lip of the rim and possibily something on the center cap then have the rest powdercoated. Nice looking wheels eitherway.

never said dont be different, polish the spikes and lip (and maybe the center part of the center cap) then powder the rest.

What about a gun metal or just a little darker than gun metal. The gloss black just looks a little too much. I would go with a semi gloss dark grey. Just my opinion.
