Default Need ideas or sugestions

I currently have TT IIs 17x9.5 & 17x11. Im looking for a gun metal finish aftermarket wheel. Not a fan of OEM vette wheels. Would SSR wheels fit our cars? Where could I get my current wheels dipped in black chrome or painted gun metal. I've always had polished and chrome wheels and would like a change. If you have any pics of these type of finish on some wheels on F-bodies (Camaros) by all means please post some pics. Thanks

Yeah, I tryied that in San Antonio which is where I live now. No one does it here. Seems everyone here does gold and chrome plating. Not black chrome. I even tried searching Houston area but no luck.

Why not get them painted at a paint shop?

Powder coating is a lot more durable than just having them painted.

Painting them or powder coating them black is not an option. Im not a fan of TTIIs that way or OEM wheels done that way either. I wanted to have them black chromed because its different and I know it will look bad ***. The SSR wheels though, I have always liked and was just wondering if anyone had them on F-bodies or if they made them for our cars. There has to be a place that dips wheels in this certain finish.
