The "black chrome" picture that you posted looks a little lighter then typical black chrome... for reference i think if you look online there is a "black chrome" emblem set for infiniti, that color would be good..

where can I get those?!?!

Powder coating your wheels and the subsequent baking process will not compromise the integrity of your wheels.

I may not be a 20+ year powder coating veteran, but I do have a Master's degree in Materials Engineering and I have an extensive background in heat treatment and thermal processing. Metallurgically, you're not doing anything to the alloy at 200°F.

I'm in the same boat as you man BO on eibachs with 20mm spacers and just debating what color to go with. I'm thinking of going with the gtr color kind of like the black chrome sample you have. Some of my friends say to just go gloss black but I feel like black on black is pretty old already.

i would definitely consider the bronze, however, i'm thinking also towards the future...and when i decide to sell the car.....bronze is a little ricey even though it looks great, it's still not everyones favorite color, then that means i'm going to have to change the color of the rims to sell them. (i'm keeping everything that i changed with the car stock, like i have the original grill, original springs etc...) so i am thinking of the GTR color because it will still look good with the stock look...

Gunmetal FTW. Specially on black. I'd do it To my car!

Of the options you posted, I'd say black chrome would look siiiiiick.

Yeah the black chrome is the way to go considering looks and eventually selling the car. I think we will have the same setup on different sides of the country though haha

SRG- look at the thread that D2 Autosport just put up about the new Forgestar wheels. Go all the way to the bottom and look at the Bronze Burst wheel....that is the color I had in mind for your stockies. That's a perfect example of what color Dark Bronze should be

I say that gunmetal. Don't go too dark, you need that contrast.
