Does anyone have a lead on where I could have a set of Rims done in Black Chrome not too far from Madison? I am debating a black powder coat or Black Chrome. I love the look of the chrome just cant find a good place to do it without having to ship half way across the country.

I went through this and the only place I could find was up north and it had a 30 day lead time. A lot of places will do a dip that isn't black chrome and call it such, so you have to be careful. And most of the places actually doing black chrome dips are industrial only and don't want to do 4 rims.

If by chance a 17x9\17x10.5 black chrome 03 cobra set sounds interesting I have a set you can buy.

Black chrome is the shiznit if its what you want then don't settle for powder coating.

Thanks for the info. That is pretty much what I have found so far. I have a set of 20 x 10 that I am looking to get done. I dont think the cobra rims will fit my jeep. Thanks for the offer though!

Ive seen that before just wasnt sure what it turn out looking like. Didnt want to mess it up and be stuck. I suppose I could always sand blast and powder coat if it didnt work.

Can they get close with with powder coating? There is a pretty big powder coater in Oregon that would probably be the best bet

Talk to one of the high quality local powder coaters to get an idea before making any decisions. Dealing with a local business is always easier with something like this.....

I seen some very nice black chrome powder coating, and more than once.....

Black chrome is kinda still catching on, hence expensive. Good luck with that. Just go black powder coat, done.
