Further options for you, JC. I just dropped off all 5 wheels for my 5 door 109 at the local powdercoater in town. They have a white that matches the factory white on my wheels, and tropical roof. And he can get it in a low gloss so that it doesn't appear to shiny. The quote to sandblast, zinc chromate prime, and powdercoat all 5 wheels was 100 dollars less than two local paint shops quotes.
I was seriously considering those Walker Evans beadlocks for the Hybrid. But when I found out they only came in 15 or 17, that nixed that idea, as I've already got the 16" Boggers in the shed. So I'm back to weld on bead locking the series steelies. POINT BEING that while I was dropping off the 109 wheels, one of them is in Limestone. My powdercoater has a PC color that PERFECTLY matches Limestone. So the hybrid will have the beadlocks done in Limestone for the Factory look. You might want to look into that.

Have you found a good galvanizer yet? I was on the LRFAQ website, and they have two Galvanizers in Georgia listed, as well as one in Jacksonville, Fl. Thought it might help you out.
