Hyper black wheels
Is there anyone on here that has this type of wheel on their car? I was hoping to see what it looks like on the car as well as any input or thoughts.
Here'a a link with the topic to a sportbike forum I mod. Thanks!

This is kind of what I have in mind but am open to suggestions. Wheel size? Offset? (seems good now tho) 185's in the back. Goodyear eagle F1's.
Here's the site: http://www.lmperformance.com/4128/27.html
They seem to have some really cool stuff for our cars! I love my black 93!!

What you are referring to sounds like the "black chrome" that AFS wheels offers. Check them out on their website or go to Ebay and search for ZR1 wheels, they normally have an auction going for a set. Here's a link

Personally, I think they are a fad that will quickly fade away.

What I wanted was an all black wheel (no silver rim like the black ZR1s I had on the car), and I finally went to ALL black powdercoated C5 Z06 style wheels from a place on Ebay. They're terrific!

I bought some of the O.E. concepts black ZR1 wheels and the paint washed off! No kidding. With in a month paint was able to be scrubbed off easily just with car soap and water. Nothing special. I had to bring them to a powdercoater and pay for a real paint job on the rims. I felt I lost $300 due to powder coating em' but they look great.
Keep an open mind about buying cheap/inexpensive rims. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
