Default Cup 2's

I picked up a set of Cup 2"s from a fellow Rl'er. I'm thinking about having them black chromed, or should I go with traditional chrome? All comments are welcome.

I think Mexican labor is cheaper. I'd go with Mexican chromed.

You could off source it to India or China and I think that with shipping it would be even less than Mexican chromed.

I always thought "Mexican Chrome" came in a spray can.

My personal preference is to paint or powder coat them in silver metalic paint.

I usually prefer silver or chrome on a black car, but beauty is in the beholder right? If it were me, and I was set on black, I'd imagine flat black powder coat would look cool for a little contrast, and help hide brake dust....

As long as I'm not Larry, it's all good.
I'd stick with regular chrome, but seeing black chrome wheels on your ride would probably persuade me to have a different opinion. Wooowooowooowoowooo!

Black chrome if its done right looks awesome, and will make your car appear sinister
