Default Matte finish solid wheels?

I’ll be needing new tires in the spring/early summer and was thinking of replacing the stock mags at the same time. I want matte finish solid rims but multiple web searches only bring up polished mirror finish. As a last resort I’ll get the Slotted Fat Boy wheels thru HD. Any other suggestions? Oh yea, it's for a 2010 RK.

Thanks,
Kevin

1st suggestion make your print bigger! I have to put ice on my eyes now, that hurt.

Short of powdercoating some, I don't think they make matte black except for the slotted lo wheel.

Oh my bad, how is it now?

Oh, I wasn't thinking of matte black but matte [satin?] chrome.

Default They are made

Someone in a bike mag (1-2 months ) just did one. I can't find the mag (must be at work).
Found it....
