Anyone powdercoat the new SS/TC wheels? Pics?

I am going to pick up a white SS/TC and I am thinking of powdercoating the stock wheels gunmetal color or comp grey as GM calls it... kind of like on the c6 corvette, you can purchase them silver or comp grey... looking for pics if anyone has done it yet!

not kidding here: do you think u can take a pic of them dirty but kind of quick detail spray the outside on the side you take the pic? I want to see what comp grey would look like on a white ss/tc!

Here are some of my dirty wheels. I haven't washed the poor thing for 5 weeks
Maybe this will help give you an idea of what grey would look like, lol.

Ya, these brake pads really give off brake dust. I bet it looks a lot darker on white. They may give off more brake dust when they are new. How new is your car?
