Default Black Chrome Wheels ...

I have already searched for Black Chrome Wheels. I have found Chrome Wheels and Painted Black Wheels. I cant seem to find Chrome Black Wheels. If someone has a picture of these I sure would appreciate you posting it here. I have a 15 Stingray Coupe with the ZF1 option. Thanks in advance...

Paul, they are sold by several vendors here. Docz 1st Rate Corvettes, Bob's House of Wheels, etc. I suggest check them all to get your best price. I bought from Docz, and received great customer service. I'm sure all will be glad to help you any way they can.

I will be replacing my wheels next month. I, too, am conflicted with the choice of the black Chrome or the Bright Chrome. I have a torch red C7.

Bright Chrome Z06 Style reproduction wheels on my 2015 C7 1LT.....

Perhaps another owner with a Torch Red C7 and Black Chrome Wheels can post a few images so you may visualize the difference.

Top pick to secure these wheels is: Docz 1stratecorvetteparts.com

Best price, best service, bar none.

I did send DocZ a pm.

Thanks for the reply and pics. I am leaning towards the bright chrome. I am an old school 1950's guy. I hope someone will post up a torch red with the chrome black so I can see the actual difference on the car.

Great looking Vette you have.

Default Forgeline

The Forgeline "black chrome" is actually highly polished aluminum with PVD application. It looks darker but still very bright, as far as I can tell from the photos (never saw a set in person).

So you start with triple plating then apply the PVD dispersion to it for the black chrome?
