Black Chrome looks nice but a True Black Chrome will cost as much as $375-550 per wheel due to the process... thats a New set of wheels right there! Pending brands if course...lol
they make a Generic powdercoat that looks like BlackChrome but the finish is Blurry... not a good choice to do it half ****...

To the OP... Google powder coat colors and they have some Mild to WILD Colors... some of the textures are just Crazy...

I want my Wheels back but takes a Month to get redone .... Good luck!

I honestly think this looks so sexy. Do this. If I had not just painted my brakes red, I would totally do this.

Oh, and add a poll so we can vote!

I've tried to do black chrome but like Blair said not very many places do this correctly. The only few places are in California. And it would take months + cost is insane. I tried to talk to a powder coat about a black chrome powder coat as well but he said it does not look good at all.

These will not get powder coated. I'm going to hunt for a gloss/metallic gunmetal color.

And I'm running h&r springs + 20mm f/r spacers.

Haha, then it is a good thing you are not the OP asking for my opinion. To each their own, haha.

To the OP... I was at the Body shop just a hour ago where my Wifes car is at being possibly totaled so far... getting her things out of the trunk I had asked the owner if they'd paint a set of wheels... thats as much as powder coating... $80 clean set no blems to $125 per he said higher if they gotta sand blems etc... shot then cleared ...
But unless you know a painter who'd do it for less I'd say stick to plastidip... powdercoating is cheaper... $380 full set sandblasted preped and coated
Wife and kids are fine btw... just sore and tired... she was rear ended by a SUV....
