Have looked all over can't find a picture. I'm sold on the Z06 spyder wheels but need to pick chrome / black chrome / black.

Chrome is safe. Not sure I'd like black in person, but it does look mean. I think black chrome might offer the best of both for me. Please if you have this combo (or any black chrome wheels on your CRM) post them for me.

Thanks!

I don't know if anyone produces black chrome spyders; but if they do I too would like to see them on a Crystal Red Metallic Clearcoat C6. I personally don't think chrome belongs on sports car wheels and black wheels remind me of government issue cars, but black chrome could be an interesting alternative to grey wheels.

I had black chrome a few years back on my first c6 and although it looks incredible, it doesn't stand up to the elements very well. Scratches are much easier to get even with a simple wiping of a towel

Also, I don't know very many places you can actually purchase black chrome wheels. Normally, you have to purchase the wheel you want, then send it away to be black-chromed.

Hope this helps

might be a little more "delicate" than powder coating, but then, what isn't? as to who and where, there are many places and methods of "black chrome." mine were done at California Chrome Wheels. (calchrome.com--oe "gumby"). talk to John, the owner, if you want them done.

Not spyders but black chrome and CRM.

Typically beautiful Crystal Red Metallic car, but somehow I expected a darker tint with black chrome. At least in these pictures the chrome wheels look like any other chrome wheels.

Oh man yah that's it. Problem now is the common vendors are all saying the same thing - they won't touch black chrome because it's too troublesome.

What's the scoop wombats? Did you have yours done?

not what you're asking for- but at least to me-hard to beat chrome spyders on crm

When I bought my wheels I heard there were issues with the black chroming process. Mine looked great when they arrived and I have had no problems. They clean up like any other chrome wheel.

However if I ever curb or scratch one, I would imagine it would be very difficult to repair or replace.

They do look darker, but they shine like chrome. Depends on the lighting.
