OEM Carelia Wheels in Black Chrome

In case anyone was wondering, this is what "black chrome" looks like.

...these were taken under flourescent overhead lights in my garage, so obviously not the best setting to take pictures - will take some better ones soon as my car gets some other stuff done to it.

Tight wheels Shady JC! Do you have any new pics in the day light. I just ordered bright chrome for my XK. I hope they're not too loud vs going with the black chrome. Thanks.

Yes, it was to you. That is good to know. PVD is a the way to go over chrome. I don't like chrome finish as it is too hard to clean. The clear coat makes it much easier to live with.
