I'm out in Chicago, but I can make polished wheels look like black chrome. I use a powder that is a topcoat designed to be cured over polished metal or real chrome. Looks nice.

Thanks for the kind words Carlos

My cell is 847-561-4361 if anyone needs to get a hold of me.

I need to get a picture on my site of the black chrome I use. I'll work on that. I polished up an aluminum bottle the other day and shot it, so I can take a pic of that.

What kind of pricing (ballpark figure) are we looking? I imagine shipping to be terrible.

Really depends on the particulars of the wheel. PM me and I'd be glad to quote.

Check with burleson powder coating. They just did my pro stars in gloss black. If it can be done, they can do it.
