Default Black chroming

I can't find out who does it right. I am doing a set of wheels in the SpinMonster tradition. I want the finish to be black chrome. Does anyone know who does this well?

Otherwise, it will be powdercoated comp grey and I will call it a day......... (Just like my OEM 18/19 set)

I already have one set of wheels (of which I am only using the fronts) and now I am buying another set of wheels just to use the fronts.

Now, what the hell am I going to do with 4 19" wheels. Coffee tables anyone?
