Default Where to find black aluminum race wheels

Hey guys, I'm looking for a set of the black colored aluminum race wheels with beadlocks for a 400EX. Does anyone know where I can find any? The polished aluminum are easy enough, but I haven't located any black ones yet. I know the carbon fiber are black, but I would prefer aluminum because of cost. Any help would be appreciated.

Mainly because of the cost of carbon fiber. I may end up getting them anyway though. It all depends on what I can find.

Just take some regular aluminum wheels and have them powdercoated black. Powerdercoating a couple wheels doesnt cost to much.

Both Douglas and ITP make black anodized .190 race rims and beadlocks. I think they cost about $40 bucks more then the normal aluminum rims. Pick up a copy of dirtwheels, atv action or atv sport and look at the ads in there. Almost everybody that sells wheels has them. Mail order will be the way to go cause you'll get the best price that way. My question is do you really need beadlocks? I run race rims with the reinforceing rings on the inside and outside of the rim and have yet to bend one. You should be able to pick up a set of rears for less than $300 bucks for the 400ex.
