I love the way they look, and black chrome looks absolutely tits. But you made a horrible decision in the long run. A lot of companies stopped selling black chrome rims just due to the fact the finish will not hold up like regular chrome, or any other finish of that sort. The clear coat on top will peel off, its only a matter of time.

Ask me how I know... I kept my 18" black chrome bullet rims **** and span and they didn't even last a year before they started to peel... Black chrome simply isn't made to hold up to the elements. If I were ever to buy a set of black chrome rims again it will only be on my show car.

again I just think the wheels on the curvy snives need curves. I was considering those wheels before I got my bullets but they just were not what I wanted.... That and then I found the wheels on craigs list, nubs still on the tires brand new for only $550 with 10.5 so no way I could say no.


I too would love some black chrome on mine and was hoping that if it were not DD that it might hold up better but I have heard that no matter what ya do it ends up flaking off.
