Default black wheels/polished lips

well i am in the market for a set of 19/20rims for my z06. i am looking for a black center with either a polished or chrome lip. i have seen many style rims i like but most dont come with the color combo i want...unless i want to fork over alot of $$$ for hre or iforged wheels.

i was wondering what is a fair price to pay to get a set of chrome or polished wheels centers powerdercoated or painted black to match my cars exterior color.

what are my options. i am sure a powder coat would cost alot more but is there a painting process i could do that would last a long time without chipping.

i really love these style rims if they centers where black. i think they would look sick on my car. anyone care to do a quick photoshot and paint the centers of these wheels black.

i hope the owner of this car doesnt mind me using his pictures....a little to much bling for me...sick looking vette none the less. i just dont need the attention those chrome rims would bring to my car....



thanx ahead of time for the help guys.

peace,

kian

I am running CCW classics. Blac center with polished lip. But they are only avaliable in 17s and 18s. For 19/20s you are options are: HRE, Iforged, or z06 motorsports. the Z06 wheels will be the cheapest. Do a search in the Z06 section, there was a post about black wheels just last week.

Check out CCWheel.com They have some cool set ups in 19's or a 19/20 combo.

Black chrome is an option if you don't want a full black out but still the tinge of chrome.

yeah i have been searching all night and i think i am going to just wait another month and save up for a set of the new line up from iforged. they are all nice looking designs so i am not sure what style i want yet.

does anyone know if iforged can make a set with a chrome lip(rather than polished) and flat black center
