Default Black chrome

Does anyone have any pieces they've had "black chromed"? Does black chrome look any different than super glossy black paint? I'm thinking of having some stuff black chromed but no shop in town will do it, so I'd have to send 'em away. I'd like to have a better idea of what it looks like before going through all that.

Cool, what colour car were they on? I've got an NBM Firehawk and I'm worried black chrome might look too dark.

Those black chrome ZR1s are exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can see those wheels on a silver camaro?
