Default changing the color of my wheels

I have a 99z with the stock chrome 5 spoke wheels. What's the best way to get the chrome removed and covered with a black color?

Thanks in advance!

How do I remove the chrome, or do I have to? I called a shop and they said that powdercoating the chrome is possible but it's not guaranteed to stick.

Take it to a chrome shop, they can remove it... Or some people have had luck with torching their bumpers to get chrome off and ready for paint...

Edit: See what you learn from the old days (Real muscle cars...)
