883R wheels. Coat or replace?

[ironmatt]

Hi,
My recent purchase ('02 883R) wheels have seen better days. They probably only require a really good scrub down/ polish up, but then I got thinking...
I really prefer the spoked wheels...I'm guessing these could be purchased for a reasonable amount?!
Do the cast wheels go for much? Just thinking if I could recoup any funds.
Anyone fancy a swap?
I really like the look of the Nighster's black rims, I think they'd suit the 883R, but they only have the single disc hub.
Or I could get them powder coated black...it would probably be cheaper.

Hi Hobbit, do you know of any good/ recommended coaters in the UK?
Thanks
