Anybody heard of Black Chrome

I'm not a chrome fan, but I have been thinking about Black Chrome finishing. Have anyone see it in person. See attached. I think this will look great on a white car, but you know how picture are not too accurate to how it looks in person. What you do think about the Mesh Stepped Lip Rim which I am thinking to get and have it Black Chrome the center. Need your vote, should I just keep my Modulare rims?

black chrome will work mostly on the shape/spokes of the wheel. If its very thin like the wheels above it maybe very hard to notice

Dark wheels are ugly, brushed face and a polished lip or full polished is the way to go.

Black wheels are ghey. polished lips are even worse unless you want that "I'm stuck in the 90's ghetto" style.

To each their own. I'm on a weird gunmetal/bronze for my black/black 55.
