I pulled the wheels off last week. Had the tires dismounted, stripped the caps & stems, then sent them out for sandblasting.

I then dropped them off at the powercoat line at work for a coat of textured black. Just picked them up this morning.

I wanted a semi-gloss with texture that would match the plastic trim on my car and this works perfectly for that. It is a textured black that we use at work in high volume. As long as I pick colors we use regularly, I can get things powdercoated for free, as long as I keep the projects small and infrequent that is.
