Be aware that others have had strength issues with chroming wheels that didn't come that way originally. Something about the process can weaken the wheel, and there have been a few reports of wheels cracking.

Maybe someone can resurrect a thread on this, or give more detail.

I faintly remember something like that. I don't know how much truth there is to it. I wonder if we can get some info from someone who specializes in plating/metallurgy.

I agree with Stogge. This thread is filled with regular chrome rims.

Yup, almost all the wheels thus far are just a chrome-like finish. Not actual chrome, but look just like chrome. Black chrome is something completely different.
