Default Powder coating/ black chrome wheels, worth it?

I am thinking about putting Z06 powder coated black chrome wheels on my 3 blk vert. Heard some good and bad about this finish.
Can anyone help me out!?

Well.....a took my stock C6 wheels to a place near by and had the powder coat done for $300 plus $50 for remounting of tires. The finish is Flat Black....and it looks awesome on a black car. I will post pics as soon as I get a chance to wash the car and put my Vararam in.

I had planned on buying the Z06 wheels with the finish.
Not sure if it is better to have it done myself or buy them with the finish.
Love to see the pics. I really like the look, I just want to make sure that I am going to be happy with them.
