I've always loved the early dark wheels.
I was able to get them powered coated at a local shop, the end result looks pretty close to the original paint.
Edit: picture the day I picked them up and hosed some of the dust off, loved the fresh power coat.

(I spent a few hours with the Search feature looking at past threads and what people said about power coating and color, very useful info before pulling the trigger!)
