I glass beaded mine and didn't do anything with them coating wise. They look as good as when I first did them 2 years ago, but then it is not a daily driver anymore. Maybe 5000-7000 miles have gone by.

I have seen a couple sets powder coated with "near chrome" it looks somilar to the jet-hot stuff. Looks pretty sharp, really close to polished aluminum.

There is a gnttype member who's car was featured waaay back. Its most likely still in the archives. The guy had *polished* the ttype wheels and they looked outstanding. YOu might want to ping him.
