Default Black wheel guys come on in...
Okay a few simple questions for you guys, why are black wheels so much more expensive than chrome?(based off ebay) And where did you guys get yours at? Or could I just get the chrome ones and just get them powdercoated black? Or for that matter could I just get a can of a certain black paint and do it myself?

all the black wheels I saw were cheaper than chrome. I got my black c-6 18's from TomzWheels.com, he's a good one to deal with imo.

I got 4 18x9.5 black Z06 motorsports for $640 shipped from a non-vendor. They're usually a little more expensive than polished, but definitely cheaper than chrome.
