Are the stock wheels painted silver, polished, or chromed? If you decide you like the black wheel look I would suggest leaving the outter wheel lip chromed or polished and powdercoat (or paint) the center black (do a search you'll find its common). As for the chrome powdercoating....there is such a thing. The chrome powdercoating doesnt come out as shiny as real chrome. Maybe looks like polished aluminum at best from what Iv seen. Just some thoughts. Post some pics of what you come up with when your done
