If i were you, i'd leave it until the wheels have some curbage or when they get older.

Try powder coating. Probably cost about $200 per wheel.

Why not black chrome? ubber bling~

Well you see i want get a good idea of what poeple have done to see how they look. If its not my taste i might leave it as it is. The reason im thinking of doing this is b/c my whole car is black even tails and windows. sSo i was thinking why not see how the Black ISP's look like.

I know of places that will powdercoat wheels for about $100 each.

But black/smoked chrome is about $225 a wheel. That's mighty pricey!

Of course, the price varies upon location.

Some parts of United States, chroming facilities have very strict regulations, hence tax paid to the city for environmental disposal fees, etc etc.

Over here in Norcal, there are very strict regulations on wheel refinishing facilities.

I hope i can find time to visit Sunny Socal to get some chrome work done.

It depends on the people that do it. I know of someone that'll get it done for that price...
