HELP:Should I get regular chrome or "hyper black chrome"????

I'm taking my Hagens off next weekend, then I am going to send the to get chromed. Should I do the traditional style of chrome, or should I do the black chrome. www.classiccomponents.com has a sample pic, but its hard to tell what the black chrome looks like!!

regular chrome. Have you priced Black Chrome? I think it's pretty steep.

IMHO, I prefer plain ol' chrome. The black chrome makes the wheel look ;like it's has a film of dust on them. Whichever you choose, I'm sure it'll look nice.

Black chrome is $700
Regular chrome is $600
I think I want black chrome, but I wish I could see some pictures of it

I'd go with the regular pimp style chrome....
I think black chrome only looks good on a yellow or black color car.

They tell me that they strip the wheels.....chrome them.....then they put a layer of black powder coat over them, so I'm guessing they would look like chrome wheels with widone tint on them????

I had a powder coated grill on another car and it was durable, so yes I think it might be.
