2020 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Default Black Chrome or Chrome
I am getting my rims re- chromed thanks to a few curb mishaps. I am torn between staying with regular chrome or switching to black chrome.

Please give me some feed back.


This is what they look like now. ..

This is the closest thing I can find to black chrome on a similar car.

Tough call... I personally prefer chrome wheels, but if your car will look like the one you posted with black chromes, I vote for that finish, especially if you're looking for a more agressive look.

What is the cost to re-chrome or black chrome the wheels?

I like chrome, it is shiny ... if it's black you cannot see it -so why bother. PLUS, black wheels look like you have the spare on ... wake up people ...

I went with them on my custom emblems.
