that rim painted black like that looks like complete trash, looks like an ebay POS rim. If the hwole rim was black on a lowered white coupe, ehhh nah still no. chrome looks hot though, I like that

I HATE CHROME WHEELS!!! It just added weight on the ABSOLUTE LAST PLACE you want any extra weight!!!!

Sorry, I enjoy track days on my motorcycle and unsprung weight is a big issue. Do whatever you want with your wheels, IMO it'll make mine look better.

well to do it right, the whole wheel gets powder coated then, the lip gets polsihed. 600 dollars in the end for this.
