Black Chrome Wheels For Vel Red 8
I dont have any pic yet but I was wondering the what Black Chrome Wheels would look like on my Vel Red 8. I was thinking about using my stock 8 wheels and getting them upgraded to the Black Chrome.Need advise from the "Mod Gods" than own only the best looking cars on the road.... :rolleyes

he may mean black chrome as in a the highly glossy black that is sometimes chrome that has been painted and highly polished...like Cortc's HRE rims and many others...I would recommend only the face be the high gloss black and not the lip...have a polished or chromed lip for a hot look
I would love to have that look on my car as it is Sunsilver...but after getting flawless set of stock rims and added the Rotary center caps I'm very happy with the look and so I also saved over a grand

Sure did:
http://stores.ebay.com/OEMRIMS-INC
These are the stock OEM rims that have gone through the chrome triple plate process. They are beautiful and the company is a pleasure to do business with. It was certainly the cheapest way for me to get "new" rims. 1 year warranty on the chrome plating.
The only thing that sucked was paying for the shipping....

about $180 total both ways (CA all the way to VA)
so $550 + $180 = $730, and you use your own rubber since it's a direct swap... then you ship the wheels back in the same boxes w/the prepaid shipping labels since you pay for both ways up front
