Anyone want to trade wheels in DC?

Hmm, I've been having second thoughts about the 18" anthracite turbofans for awhile now, and wanted to know if anyone in the DC area might be interested in swapping.

They have zero curb rash; about 7000 miles on the all-season run flats.

I'd could go for turbofans in silver or white. Anyone interested?

Why do you not just paint them? its not hard, and you can have them any color you like. masking tape,scotch bright,spray paint, done!

Do you have any pics of the wheels? I'm in NYC and have the silver turbo fans on my CM but have always contemplated the anthracite wheels. I might be interested in a trade

I can't imagine a rattle can job would look right or last long. I thought about having them powdercoated, but it seems like it'll be a pain to get the tires off then hit the powdercoaters, then back to the wheel shop for mount and balance....

i painted my brake calipers with chrome rattle can paint and they have looked great for years, and the paint was not even high temp type. im sure that the chrome rattle can paint would hold up even better on the wheels. it looks like a cross between chrome and silver once on what you are painting. i think it would look good, and hold up well. get a can at the parts store and check it out first. it called chrome duplicolor "i think thats the brand" and let me know what you think.
