However, I hear that black chrome tends to turn brown as they age. In addition, I would agree that people would think painted centers would chip easily. However, after about 20k miles on mine, I have yet to get any notable chips on my wheels. Also, I was advised AGAINST powdercoating because of the thin spoke design of our wheels. The high temp process tends to breakdown and weaken aluminum alloy wheels. At first, I was disappointed and kind of worried about going the paint method. However, after finding out that the original finish of the OEM 19"s are paint anyways... I really never put much thought into it again. All in all, I love the look and am happy with the job. It's also funny to see people staring at my wheels all the time. =p
