It would probably be easier and cheaper to have the spokes powdercoated as well; just have them done in a different sheen...

Thanks for the rely. My question then would be, how do you relace the wheel and adjust spokes w/o ruining the powdercoat?

Powdercoating is pretty tough stuff.

Also, some of these suppliers might be able to help with just spokes.  http://www.bikelinks.com/directory/Parts/Wheels/  That way, you could say, powdercoat the rim red and have it ride on black spokes.

There is the black chrome process as well. There are also some black spoke rims out there that might be adaptable. I haven't done much research but will add to the list!
