***SOLD***FS VA Enkei NT03+M - satin black
Currently mounted with 215/45 ZIEX912 (though I like them and will move to a new set unless you'd like the mounted set). $850 for the mounted set, plus shipping, or $650/shipped for the wheels alone. I bought these in January and work from home...less than 1k miles on the set.
17x7.5ET45. These were originally hyper black - I painted them with VHT wheel paint in satin black. MATS construction = light and strong (16.5lbs I think).
I did the center caps in MetalCast red but have since put satin black/gunmetal overlays with 'MINI' on them to make them look OEM. I can easily strip them to the original color or the color of your choosing (I have Blue Metalcast too
)

De-chrome
Dan,
I see that you have de-chromed your Coop. I am in the process of doing the same. Did you use vinyl or paint. I just bought new headrings which I will be sanding tomorrow. I need to educate myself on what is the right paint and primer. I believe that I need to get adhesion promoter primer.
I like the de-chromed look. I have a PW & black. I got a set of Enkei RPF-1's. They do not come in black but you have just given me food for thought after looking at your wheels.
What paint and prep do you use?

VA - says in the title. 
for paint/prep, 250 grit sand paper - this took a few hours given the complexity of the wheels. I went back over with acetone to remove any oils and residue from sanding. Light tack coat, wait 2-3 minutes, then 4-5 light coats to avoid drips. I did this sequentially on the wheels (going through all four one at a time, so by the time I got back to the first, it was ready for another coat).
The car is blacked out with a mix of vinyl and paint.

Could you make them a graphite / anthracite color?
I might be interested if you could do that...
I do have an order for new wheels from tire rack (ultraleggeras) but can always cancel it...since everything is on back order...
