Help finding a silver stem

Amazingly I can not find a silver (brushed aluminum) stem to fit my needs for new bike build:
1 1/8 threadless, 110 or 120mm long, 8-10 degree rise, normal or oversize handlebars
I'd rather not have one with visible welds.
Any help? Thanks.

I found myself with the same problem recently. Found one that suited my needs - Pro PLT 3D. Comes in lengths in 10 mm intervals (both 110 and 120 are available), has 10 degrees rise, 1 1/8" threadless and available for normal or oversize bars. And it's available in polished alu (as well as black, BTW)!

Thomsons come in silver but in oversized only.

Although those are great to just keep them around for some flat bar project.

Soma makes some unpainted, 1 1/8 threadless stems.

This one is way higher than you want, but they have others, and they all come in silver. The finish is kind of a satiny sandblast.
