Anyone have pics of a Viper with Forgeline's version of their Black Chrome wheel color option? I can't tell from their website if their Black Chrome wheels have kind of a bluish tint?

pic with BC center, and Chrome lip:

I don't know the answer to your question---but I do know that's a beautiful wheel. I'm
going with the same wheel but in all chrome. Good luck!

My buddy saw a set on a car at DC performance months ago. I was seriously considering black chrome at the time. He sent a crummy pic to me, wheels were also dirty and yet still looked good. I ended up going with a satin black center, but I think black chrome would look great.

I am also seriously considering those as well. this is the look I am going for, this is a pic thanks to Austin and his awesome PS skills. Austin, I hope you don't mind me posting your work since you have already posted this. This is the gunmetal low gloss but I'm sure looks pretty close to the black chrome. This is the look I am going for, I would also like to see the black chrome PS on this car. Austin? ;)

I'm actually considering something with a twist ...Black Chrome on the lips, with very bright machined/silver centers (maybe even white) ... the car will be blue with white stripes, so that's why I'm asking about the bluish tint.

I like the idea of the centers being very light/bright, and the rims being a bit darker and less obvious

Oh, Austin ...please come out to plaayyyeaa ...

I like the idea of a Black Chrome lip vs. powdercoated (gunmetal), because the chrome should provide a much more durable (and easy to maintain) lip...

Something I tried poorly earlier (adding black chrome effects to the chrome rim pic):

And an example of a similar idea:

Another visual reference:

Then again, here's a much darker Black Chrome center (difficult to know exactly what the BC looks like):

And as you may of guessed, these may go on a Viper Blue car...

Here's my ZXP3's with black powder coated centers and polished lips. Bought 'em used, but I'd probably go with chrome lips if buying new. Easier to maintain and shinier.
