Can anyone please post pics of a NBP TL with DARK CHROME wheels on. I am thinking about getting them on my tl.

 

I have them on my silver car, if you care to look...go back to 3rd gen gallery...

 

yea seen it already thats why I asked you how much cause they look hott!

 

Just get them, they will look great on a NBP car...

Black chrome on black will look very nice...

falconi of las vegas had them chromed for me...they prob send it out..

call them and ask for Doug, they prices were 600 less than over here in bay area..

 

The reason I ask, is because very few places know how to do "black chrome".

 

Here you go...

These are mine i got from falconi acura in vegas...they shipped them fully ready to mount.

They are not too bling, and not too understated...

They handle pretty well! I've gotten quite a few compliments from guys (but girls dont seem to care)

 

One other thing I forgot to add, these wheels look different in different light, its really cool to see how they change...

 

black chrome??? i saw a A-spec rim at parts counter at dealer, the "blackness" comes from a sprayed on coat.

 

"Black chrome" is plated in the same way as "bright chrome". The formula is as follows:

Chromic acid 33 oz (936 g)

Acetic acid = 28.2 oz (800 g)

Barium acetate =1.0 oz (28 g)

Distilled (or demineralized) water to make 1 gal. (3.79 litre).

 

OK, but that's not how the a-spec rim gets it's "darkness". i don't even think the a-spec rim is chromed, it's just a high luster aluminum then has a translucent dark spray over it.

a-spec rim and a true "dark chromed" wheel may be different in looks

 

Yes, i believe you are all correct

its a powder coating that is painted that gives it that appearance... which i guess you can translate to it being lightly colored "blacK'
