Just get black chrome and you have the best of both worlds. I had the same problem and I decided with the black chrome and I have had very many compliments as many people dont have them.

I guess a bit of a noobish question. What kind of shops paint the wheels? Would it have to be a tuner shop? Also, how much would it cost? I have a bit of curbage from the previous owner and would like to recondition the rims and paint them.

Get chrome..... if you want black just dont wash the wheels. The brake dust will turn it into black chrome..

I agree with the black vote! (not obama, though!)

What size wheels (width) are you going with? I'd like to get something a bit wider for more meat on the ground but I don't want them sticking out of the quarter panel.

Any suggestions?
