I don't have wheels to trade but I'm interested in purchasing them if you decide to sell them.

I "think" you can do a wheel swap + $$ + shipping to get the factory OME black wheels through West Coast Corvettes. Go to their website, and/or, give them a call.

I would call local powder coating companies and just do it that way. It'll cost you a bit, but when you factor in the time it'll take to either find someone willing to trade with you locally, or ship your existing wheels out of state, you'll probably end up having paid about the same amount.
