Default black chrome

Well I was kind of toying with the idea of getting the VHO wheels done in black chrome. not sure who does this but how much does it usually cost. I don't really like the black powder coating though. what manufacutures make black chrome wheels? thanks.

it doesn't seem like anyone knows anything about it. I was just wondering if I could get my stock wheels done or atleast does someone know some manufacturers of wheels for our truck. I looked at boze but they are real pricey.

I check into getting some stuff black chromed. From what I learned its byproducts are really bad for the environment. And no one can get the approval from the EPA to do black chrome unless they grandfather into it. So almost all black chroming is done out side of the US.

I saw a link on syty.net that actually does it. http://www.syty.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=41124
It looks really good, I'll do it when I get my Z06 rims.

thanks, I sent them an email and see what it would cost to get my factory 20's done. I think it would look bad *** on my black truck and still give it character for remaining stock on such a limited supplied vehicle.

The gray stuff in your head is called brains, try using it and basing your purchase and opinions on facts DTW.
