Spoked Wheels

Hello Packard Pals;

I have been searching for l5 inch spoked wire wheels for my 54 Pacific and am reluctant to buy a wheel that uses any chrome finish since I live on the coast and rust is very prevalent, spoked wheels are very hard to keep up. I know some vendors offer stainless spokes, however the wheel itself is chromed steel.
A vendor at a recent car swap meet stated that he can build spoked wheels that are powder coated and painted a chrome color that is equal in appearance as a chromed wheel.
Have any of you had any experience or knowledge about this process, please lend me your opinions. Thanks, Carl
