i can get the KMC Dimes again, for under a grand with tires (22"), but are already powdercoated a different color, so I'd have to redo them. This is a less expensive route, but the 'problem' is that the little rivets are already powdercoated and it would be a bitch to just chrome those. I want to have the rivets stay chrome.

Simans82- what do you think?
Considering that you seem to really want to have the rivets stick out with their original chrome appearance, you're going to have to go with the first option. The fake rivets aren't chromed, it's more just a coating/plastic of sorts, so it would be pretty difficult to get them back to their original state.

Looking at the cost savings, I'd say screw the chrome rivets and go for the powdercoated ones. Just my opinion though.
