Not my car so don't ask me for more info. I think the guy who owns this car is a member here and on a few other forums.

Stay away from the black chrome rims as the finish will not last (peeling off).
They're garbage and to top it off, vendors will not make good on that faulty product.
We had lots of members getting shafted on that deal.
So beware.

Here's a picture of the problem...
Look how bad it peels at the 8 o'clock position on that rim:



You can also see the outer edge about to peel off as well.
I believe this wheel was only a month old!

The search button is your friend. Not too many out there with black chrome and there's a ton of complaints on this forum about them. I'd steer clear unless you're made out of money and itching to throw some of it away.

It's a shame that the finish sucks because I think black chrome looks great

Damn, that is a SICK car.
And those rims look awesome, too bad they won't stay that way. :/

Bright move! And how much money are you gonna have in those after not having the black chrome look in the end?
Sounds like a lose/lose deal to me...
