How about making a rule that you have to post a SBC or black chrome rim in order to post on this thread

And don't quote pictures. That is probably the most annoying thing you can do.

Each wheel manufacturer has their own interpretation of black chrome, but I consider it being a darker shining chrome. It seems almost like its chrome over a black base coat.

This is from National Metal Finishing Corp:
Black Chrome Plating:
Black chrome is usually plated over bright nickel or matte nickel in the same manner as decorative chrome. Black chrome is not quite as hard or wear resistant as normal nickel/chrome and it is not lustrous. The finish may waxed or oiled to improve the final appearance. Black chrome offers high solar absorption and low emissivity useful in solar panel applications. It is also used for optical components, gun sights and components, lighting and plumbing fixtures and some automotive parts.

I've seen some Volk's showing up in an SBC type coating. I don't know what they are calling it though.
