Dont paint your chrome wheels... Just find a cheap set of silver stockers or better yet find some black painted stockers.
Mine used to be black stockers but they got old and most people would agree that painting your stockers isnt cool.
I'm sure somebody would gladly trade you for your chrome wheels.

There have been tons of people that have painted stock rims black, do a search.

I hate to disagree, but they do make stock black wheels.. have you ever seen a 35th anv. Trans Am....Black stockers....Only thing is they're hard to find and expensive to buy...
Good luck finding a set!

To the OP not to bash or anything but in my personal opinion black rims don't look that great on a NBM car, maybe with a chrome ring around it, but still I'm not a fan, just personal preference really. Check out the stickies of the Wheels forums, they have a crap ton of information about what looks best with what with pics. Just right now the wheel gallery is apparently down.
And to 98Z2885, how much was it to have them powdercoated? I have a NBM Z28 and was thinking about powdercoating them NBM when I get them.

I wouldnt mess w/ chome wheels. I did my non chrome C5 wheels..Sand w/ light sand paper to get gloss off....clean wheel w/ simple green or something, primer,paint, then clearcoat if you want. You can pick up those 16 in. wheels cheap enough, just look for a non chrome set.

Sorry, let me rephrase, I like the glossy black chrome look with chrome studs or a chrome ring, just not flat black. A lot of the wannabe street racer ricer kids around here do it and it makes me want to hit em with a bat.

yeah i plan on finding some rims on craiglist or maybe a junk yard lol
but can you powercoat chrome? and how much better is power coat compared to paint and clear?
and i also disagree i think it nbm looks good with black rims with or without shinny lips
