Well if you are not on a budget, the obvious choice is to take them to a powdercoat shop and have them sand blast them and powdercoat them. I believe its ~$65 per wheel at the place around my house.
The gun-metal grey would be sweet. I think the black look has been worn out. I went back to alloy look with mine.
I didn't want to pay the $$ so I wire wheeled mine (They looked like yours), and just spray canned them with Dupli-color aluminum. They look a little "Mexi" style but not that bad. I actually really like the look.
NOT TO HIJACK but here's a photo

Got the tires and rims separated tonight and got the rims cleaned up a bit. They look better but will need to be sandblasted/sanded.

Well, I ended just deciding to sell the LC rims to one of the members of the Wasatch Cruisers and made my money back on them - minus the gas money.
but the story doesn't end here.

Well, I ended up selling the LC rims I picked up and was able to make my money back on them minus the gas money. One of the deciding factors to this was that I came across antoher set of rims in better condition and which I like more the LC rims. Plus, I like the color.
So without further adeu here are the new rims I picked up tonight and I couldn't be happier
Picked them up for $160, they have a few scuffs here and there but nothing like like the LC rims. Thye will be going on this weekend.

I like these. What rims are they?
I really want a set of the 17" Tundra split spokes in gunmetal. My buddy has a TRD Tundra and I tell him to be careful cause he's going to come out to his car on blocks.

I know this is a little late but I have a set of 4th gen runner rims (2007) of the brushed aluminum variety for sale. They still have the factory Michelins with about 50% tread left.

Here you all go. Looked up the part number off the rims and they are the 16x7 rims off a 05 Toyota Tacoma. I'm very happy with end result.

So far I haven't noticed any rubbing. I'll have to see how they do when I get off-road and under flex.
