I really like my 18" Mondials, but they are starting to look like hell.  They definitely have not aged as gracefully as the rest of the truck.  Anyways, I want them refinished in a gunmetal color, I think it will look really good with my dark red truck, and gray bumper setup.  If I do this, I am also going to replace the stock Range Rover badges with the MKIII ones that are a darker greyish color.  Has anyone had this done to their wheels, and if so do you have pictures?  I want to get an idea of what this will look like before I start shelling out cash.

Nevermind, found some on car domain.  I attached a picture if anyone is interested in seeing how they look, pretty damn sharp if you ask me.

Looks good.
I would check on having them powder coated.

What happened to them in the first place that made you want to paint them, rock rash??

Some curb rash, plus the original clearcoat has faded quite a bit on the spokes.  The original owner didn't exactly do a bang-up job of cleaning the brake dust off of them either, so there is some corrosion.

So I got ambitious tonight and tested out some high temp wheel coating on my spare to see if I will like this on my Range before I spend the $$ to get it done professionally.  I think it looks pretty damn good.

and one to show the contrast between stock, I think the gunmetal looks so much better with this color car:
