Brushed aluminum Machine Heads

Does anyone know where I can find some brushed aluminum or satin chrome machine (Tuner) heads that fit 11/16 holes?

Thanks,
J

Does any one know where to find these things, I am in need of a satin chrome tuning key myself. Gotoh style. I have looked on warmoth, allparts, stewmac... They all carry black, gold and shiney chrome. No satin. I even called Washburn (as that's the bass that needs the new key) and am waiting to hear back if they can find any. Any help is appreciated.

I was going to mention this also. I just upgraded all the hardware on my personal bass with satin finish aluminum Hipshop parts. Real nice parts.

I was looking at those hipshots as they offer a bass extender which I've enjoyed on past basses I've played with the drop switch on the key. I wasn't really looking to replace the whole lot of machines on my bass as only one crapped out. But if I can't find a match I will have to do that, as the one black gotoh I pilfered off of another bass looks odd.
