Black Chrome
I am thinking about doing a black chrome exchange on the stock 19" oem wheels on my liquid platinum g37. La Wheel & Tire quoted me $1,087.50 (only one way shipping) + $1,800 refundable deposit when I called them today. Does anyone have experience with having this done and if so, is this a fair price? I can get regular chrome for about $200 less but I think that the black chrome would look great against the liquid platinum. Any suggestions/help is appreciated!

Black chrome would look nice. But make sure the place knows what they're doing so the integrity of your wheels are not compromised during the process.

LA Wheel and tire seems to be pretty reputable and know what they're doing. The price I was quoted is for a new process called winter chrome which supposedly can withstand corrosion from road salt, ice, snow, etc. It is also supposed to be lighter than traditional chrome and easy to clean. They have a 5 year warranty as well.

I'm curious about how the Winterchrome comes out, so post pics! They cover everything -- including corrosion! -- according to the Winterchrome warranty, which is pretty amazing for 5 years. I don't doubt that part of their slightly expensive price is because of that, which is totally worthwhile in my book.
Most places do 2 year warranties or thereabouts, and don't have nearly as many options as L.A. Wheel. By the way, if you live near them like I do, you can save money by picking up the wheels or just dropping off your wheels to get them chromed, rather than do the exchange. Just an fyi.
