They can powdercoat chrome rims, but they would have to sandblast the chrome off first

looks ok
just kinda has the cheap look to it with the red/black theme
IMO for the price of doing the full-on custom powdercoat, you could probably just get a set of rota time attack knockoffs which'll look a lot closer to the real thing....or the sportmax 006's which already are offered like that in a mesh style:

Honestly I really love the chromies, but I also like the chop azn did, they'd look sick time attack style. Also if you do it, leave the center caps chrome like in the picture

thanks everyone
im liking to chop that AznX TL did but i was thinking that them red would be inza red pearl to match with the car... i just painted my stock black and am going to do the center caps in black with the inza red A. i appreciate everyones opinions bout what to do. i love the rims and dont want to part ways with them but chrome is a bitch to keep clean 
. thats why i was checking my options on what to do with them hey could u possibly do a chop with those rims on my car here's the link to a thread with my car http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=191893. if you could do that i would really appreciate it

I had a set of ice metal IM883s powdercoated black after the chrome started to flake. They were blasted and coated and the chrome didnt blast off completely. They are in the trash, they chipped and looked terrible.
If you want different rims, get some. I really don't think it wise to attempt to coat chrome.
Just my personal experience.

BTW, I like the chrome but the black looks good too.
