250-500cc Black Wheels?

So I'm at a little bit of a cross roads and need some advise. I have a 2008 WR250 with silver aluminum Excel rims and I'm looking to change them to Black painted rims. I have a few stripped spoke nipples on the rear and the spokes and hubs looking like crap. So here are a few questions:

1) Do I just buy new wheels and hubs? Sounds expensive.
2) Do I send the current rims off to be powder coated black?
3) Maybe just clean up the hubs and buy new spokes and nipples.
4) Buy some used black wheels - complete. If so, what will fit my bike? (KTM,GasGas)

Thoughts?

Take the wheels apart and have the rims and the hubs powder coated and buy a new set of spoke and nipples (black if you choose so). That's what I would do and would be the lease expensive and would last longer than paint.

1) Do I just buy new wheels and hubs? Sounds expensive. Can be yes, but how much does powdercoating rims and maybe hubs, or having anodized, and then add cost for new spokes. If your hubs are billet alum and not cast, id leave 'em clear. I bought an extra rear wheel from Warp9, i think it was like $350, even came with sprocket and rotor, wasnt a top of the line wheel.
2) Do I send the current rims off to be powder coated black? or anodized
3) Maybe just clean up the hubs and buy new spokes and nipples. If cast paint them.

I got a quote yesterday for new black DID STX rims (top end), new spokes, new nipples and they'll powder coat my hubs black. With labor and shipping it should run about $625. That was better than I thought.

Seems like a lot of $$.

Can anyone comment on which is more robust powder coat or anodised?
I know either will look pretty shabby once scratched although I suspect powder coating will be easier to retouch with paint when the inevitable scratching occures.
Must say though, black rims look bloody good.

I have had both and prefer anodized, but I make sure it is hard anodized.

that does seem like a lot, but black rims look sweet!

I found a local guy that will powder coat my wheels and hubs for $30 per piece. So for $120 out the door it sure seams like the way to go. New spokes and nipples aren't too expensive. I'll watch a few YouTube videos on how to lace them up and I should be good. Photos posted in a month or so.

Any update on how they turned out? And where did you get your spokes from?
