Default Painted Rims?

Ok I saw this GT with rims like mine but they were painted black, and were really shiny! It looked awesome on a black car. So I was wondering what did he do, or what shops to take it to? Rims are in my sig!

i don't think that is a paint, i'm pretty sure its a entirely different material that the wheel is made with, they look sick though...i considered getting black chrome for my car they look sweet...especially on black cars...

no i don't think so either, but if you were looking into get black chrome i know i have seen it in the replica models of the cobra r, bullitt, and FR500...personally i think the bullitts and FR500's look sick on the new edges. Since your car is already blacked out i think the rims would set it off...

Black chrome is a really expensive process of plating your old wheel.. just paint them yourself, or take them to any paint shop
