GS430 wheels in Black Chrome?

[FlopShot]

I was at a local wheel shop this past weekend, and he was showing me some wheels that a customer sent out and had black chromed. The wheels looked awesome, I think they were OZ wheels. Much much better than just plain gunmetal finish. He said that he could do my GS430 wheels in black chrome for $150 each, which sounded reasonable. I know several places that will do regular chrome dip, but I wasn't sure if there was any special process involved for black chrome. Anyone know if this is a good quote for 18" wheels?

Especially on my Desert Sand Mica, I figured the black chrome would look really good. But I barely scraped together enough money to get my body kit painted, so I have no idea how I'm going to come up with $600 to get my wheels done!

Already done, the RK Sport kit is at the painter as we speak.

Yup, that was the look, although I think it was just a bit darker. I'm guessing the "blackness" is simply some coloring agent that they use and therefore can be adjusted.

According to 5Zigen, that's black chrome.

I Think 150 Is Way To Much. I Got My Rims Fixed And Painted For 65 A Wheel.

Painted, or chromed? Big difference.
