Thanks guys, well the previous owner had them done.
I think the wheels have to already be chrome, and they just re dip them.
around $150 a wheel

No dipping, its likely powder. Black chrome powder only really works right over real chrome or well polished aluminum. I've tried shooting it over chrome powder and it just wasn't a bright enough base to get the right affect. Its a finicky powder to work with.
