You are gonna dig mine. Black powder coat, with IOM on the side of the spokes. Will take a pic when I get home. Not done with all of them yet.

Thats something I wouldnt mind seeing... all my wheel savings got spent paying a couple of medical bills so now I am looking for an alternative until I can save up the $$ again.
