got quoted 9K to do a proper black chrome job on a set of wheels. damn i would have never thoguht it would be that much, guess im staying with chrome.

anyone have any nice powdercoated wheels. dark color (black, gray, etc) with chrome trim should look good on a black H2 im thinking

Wow is that expensive! Powdercoating would definitely look very good, you can even get it with a high gloss finish. I've been searching for new rims for a while and the only thing I found with a descent design is in chrome, I will be powdercoating them without a doubt.

Why not buy chrome rims and have them powder coated the way you want, where you want? You could have custom rims without the cost.

9K?? F that, look into Permastar. Should run you about $225 per rim in black chrome.

I knew that process wasn't cheap, but that's just insane. Well, you do own a HUMMER, so you can afford it.
So what about anodizing? I know you can get that look for waaaayyyyy cheaper. But I'm not sure on how it will hold up to scratches.
Powder coating is cheap. I had the factory ones PC'd. It was around $300 for all 5 rims. I went with a flat finish rather than a high gloss because mine goes off road.
So there's another option for that "black Chrome" look. Good luck.

i sent an email to that permastar. hope they can do it, thnx of rall the input, im still looking into PC too
