Default Powder coated Wheels

Hey I have a 2012 Sahara and I want to powder coat my wheels but I have the new 7 spoke wheels instead of the traditional 5 spoke wheels and I haven't seen what those look like powder coated and I cant find any pictures of them. I do not want to powder coat them and then not like them. I could trade mine for a set of used 2011 wheels but they have 27k miles on it. does anyone have know of a black or powder coated 7 spoke wheel that might be on an arctic addition so I could get an idea of what it might look like?

Post up a pic and someone may be kind enough to "photoshop" it for you.

Default black 7-spokes

I'm looking to possibly powder coat my 7 spokes as well...and I did find one pic on the black wheels thread I think, I saved this photo from that thread. I think the black on the 7 spoke wheels looks great. These are plasti-dip I believe but I'm imagining a near black charcoal powder coat on mine and I'm beginning to drool a little.

I've been thinking about doing it for a while. I'm probably going to be Plasti dipping them in a few weeks. I photoshopped a pic on my JK with them black and I thought it looked pretty nice! If anyone actually did it post a pic!
