    Anyone ever do this. Paint the chrome part black. Really interested to see what they'd look like.

    I'm not a fan of buying wheels. I just hate that bit of chrome. Especially on my black truck which ive debadged, destickered, and painted bumper and grill. It's the missing link.

    Somebody powder coated theirs and they looked great - can't find the picture again though.

    No BRO-ness to speak of... Well, except Kbro2's
    Bit of chrome? I think i am confused... My '16 OR wheels were painted MGM with a machined aluminum face. The only thing chrome on my wheels were the lug nuts. What are you wanting to paint black?

    he is probably talking about the aluminum part that is not black, its not actually chrome but it is silvery color.

    My trick to derp wheels is to using an old set of playing cards to stack around them. Works pretty good.
