If you live in a state with the Les Schwab tire chain, I found out they have a wheel refinishing service, they only do a couple colors of powder coat but I have 4 1957 steel wheels done and they came out nice and shiny black. Look like OEM new. But better than the old lacquer paint.

powdercoat can be more orange-peely than paint. They put it on thicker. I got mine coated "argento" color which was the darkest metallic gray they had.. I think I'll be going back to stock wheels though..

My wheels are powder coated and the lips look like glass.
