Default Black Chrome Rims?

Would you please share some "black chrome rim" pics w me and the best vendors to contact. Thanks to all in advance. I'm thinking black chrome and Arctic White might be a great combo?

I haven't seen any black chrome on a car yet. Could look pretty cool.

I remember seeing a member's vette with a set of ROH RT wheels. They have a finish that is black chrome that look really nice. Look on the net and you'll find them.

I saw some at the Mid America Funfest 2 years ago. They look way cool BUT I spoke to the vendor and he said he does not recommend them for street use but for show cars only.

The black chrome process is very fragile and they scratch easily. They don't warranty the black chrome on street driven cars. At least the vendor (and I don't remember the name) I spoke to dosen't.

I also saw the same disclaimer on some black chrome rear marker light covers.

It's not black chrome but you may want to have another look at black powder coat.

That's the look I'm trying to achieve. If CCW will make me a set like yours I'll be next in line. I thought powder-coat might be the way to go but yours are classic's. I like the racy look of powder-coat but not my style.

It's my understanding that these might be available again - or is it "still". I'm going to SEMA in a few weeks, and I plan to talk to the American Racing folks to see if they will make them in anything but O.E.M. size.

I'll let you know what I find out!

This was an awesome wheel, and by the time I got a C5 they weren't available anymore. But we'll see......
