you want the watanabes or the Konig rewinds(knockoffs). The ebay ones look like Konig Rewinds, which I have. I am pretty sure they can be painted with proper sanding and masking.

The only one I have right now



They are pretty clean, except one of them. The paint has come off a little bit. I dont have my car right now, I hauled it off to get the swap finished up a little faster then I would have gotten it done...... I can get more pics if you are really interested.
