Like the title says, I would like to see cars with black chrome wheels. I've seen "black chrome" C5 Z06 wheels on eBay before and I thought the finish was gorgeous.

Word!

Just let some brake dust build up on some chrome wheels instead. Just joking guys, I like black chrome alright. They look great on some colors, like **** on the others.

Yeah, I think the fact that my medium metallic blue stands out (and I went a black and blue theme: tinted windows, stock black sail panel, carbon fiber grille, smoked lights, etc) that the black chrome wheels look great.

Not heard to keep clean really.

I think it comes down to how good of a coat they put on it. It is a baked on powdercoated finish, and if not done right from the start it will peel and crack. Its all in the preparation.

I anticipate my rims to hold up well for years to come because they were done correctly.

mix up some clear and black to make it transparent and spray them centers to make them match better! Just and idea

i thought about trying to spray my chrome wheels with something like that to see if it would look like a black chrome. if you do it or have it done post up some pictures
