I do like the Audi gray with the green lip... but not the spoke thingy.

Chrome would be megasexxxx.

Ooh, wasn't aware of the chrome powdercoat option. Maybe I'll hit up Miller's next week and see what they could do.

Just called Millers, they have a chrome-ish powder but said it's not really the best solution if you want it to look like real chrome...

Basically, it has to be cleared over which ends up making it look like a bright silver (might still be cool but won't look like chrome). If you left it un-cleared he said it has a more real chrome look, but the finish isn't as durable as normal powders and would chip/start falling apart in a matter of weeks. It's also $300 for a set of wheels from them, which is a bit over what I have to spend at the moment.

Also found another place locally that can fully chrome them but they start at $250 per wheel :(.

So yea...back to either keeping them black for the time being or trying some sort of paint.

Dude, it's Ray. When he powder coats there is no need for an oven.
