Anyone paint or powder-coat the stock wheels black?

I got them done in Satin Black. I love the color, it is almost a bronze or grey black in certain lighting. It looks great on the car and it makes it feel more motorsport and achieves the look I wanted. The stock wheels are great, but with a white car I wanted some contrast. Super happy with them.
Pros - I love the look, I told them to match GT3 emblem, wanted satin not gloss. Much cheaper than new wheels. The color goes with stock center-caps really well. Very unique in person.
Cons - They will be tougher to keep clean. Definitely unique, they are not new wheels, so you can spot some orange-peel affect if looking close, in certain lighting. I am not someone that has to have a perfectly clean exterior, but for some this color would be difficult to maintain a clean look. They are not shiny when clean. You have to dismount wheels/tires and take to a shop, takes several days.
