Need Opinion on mags

Hey all. I live in Canada and the winter is no place for chrome. So, I will be putting my stock SE's back on my 99 Max. (16 " )
Right now they are that silver color with marks every where on them.
I can get them sand blasted (I call it) for 25 a rim.
Assuming I get them sanded... What color should I go with for my White Car?
I was thinking black.. but what about gun metal type color? Any other ideas?
Has anyone done this yet???
Is sand blasting the way to sand them?
What kind of paint? Brand name?
Any tips? Paint brush? Spray paint?
Any information would be cool, thanks

Sorry I meant S/N Jsutter's rims:



It think that tint would look great on a white Maxima.

Yes or I have always loved white cars with black rims so flat black could be an option

nah its just funny that what my dad calls wheels/rims - especially Craigers, all the old school muscle car guys LOVE Craiger Mags...

PS: and if it was featured in Fast and Furious it's probably one of the most intelligent lines in the whole movie... Mags comes from Magnesium...rather than a heavy a$$ wheel cast in steel race cars were fitted with Magnesium wheels for weight reduction wayyyy back before I was born...
