Chrome, Black, or Black Chrome Rims?

I can't decide on what type of 17" ZR-1 Rim to get. I first wanted to go with black to do go with the black on black scheme. Then I thought I might get bored with that, so I thought of chrome. Then I discovered black chrome, which is sort of like a happy median between the two.

I love black wheels with a polished lip, so I voted for black.

You can black chrome any wheel for alot less than buying a whole new set if you use this:



It can be found here:

An 8oz. bottle will do 4 wheels. You just have to have a black basecoat on the wheel before applying the hyperblack.

Re: Chrome, Black, or Black Chrome Rims?

Also, another method you can use if you have a chrome wheel that you want to turn into black chrome is this:



This is a specially formulated clearcoat that has self-etching properties that allow it to bond to ultra smooth polished or chrome surfaces without flaking or peeling off. It's called "Clear-4-Chrome."

A video demonstration page that showcases how resilient of a bond this clearcoat will form to polished surfaces is here:

The kit to do a black chrome job on a set of wheels can be found here:
