Wiggs, if you make the diesel power challenge east, are you gonna run your large wheels and tires??
(1) Because I love them. (2) Because I should have a custom set of 8-lug 22.5s by then with a super single in the rear, and (3) Because they are the only wheels and tires I have![coffee] |
they might hurt you a little or maybe a lot in different areas.

First they chrome the wheel. Then a powder is applied and baked on. The end result is a very hard, almost impenetrable surface that protects the wheels against everything. It even had a dust-repellant-like auality about it.
There is a true Black Chrome. It is done during the chroming process and is actually a different nickel type finished used to give it the color it has. It is much more xpensive then regular chroming. It is becoing more popular and thus more metal finisher are offering it so the price is coming down. I know there are a few places here in So Cali that do offer it. |

Okay this is not True "black chrome". If you are having a translucent black powder coat done on a Chrome wheel you are still doing a simulated black chrome.

That's what I thought, but all 11 of the companies (I was trying to find out who could do it the fastest) I contacted who do "Black Chrome" all said that the way it is done is how I described.

I will try to get the names of a few companies out this way that do. I think there are a couple in Las Vegas as well. I will check into it and see.

WOW! Where did you find those!??!?! Yes, similar in the sense that they would be super singles. Different in two areas. (1) those are 10-lug wheels which means they need heavy adapters like my current ones, and (2) I am doing a different, deeper lug rear tire (as well as front).
Did you ever make it to the dyno, or did I miss that post? |
