This outfit here does the Permastar finish. Lifetime warranty on the wheels and they say return freight charges are estimated at $25 per wheel.
black chrome = $215 ea.
chrome = $200 ea.

Are you sure the black chrome is REALLY black chrome? Does the finish look like my RO_JA wheels on page 1 of this thread?

I called them up and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. He said they do a black chrome but its nothing like the black chrome we are thinking about.
The actual finish is called Permastar. And he didn't know what it was.

Yes it is REALLY BLACK CHROME just like on your RO_JA wheels, but a whole lot better. I just looked at it again on Monday.

Like I said already, whoever I talked with had no idea what Permastar was which I would assume if your doing black chrome you'd have to know this.
Who is a good person to ask for over there? $125 is a good deal. Not as cheap as I paid at American Powder Coat ($95 a wheel) but then again they will never get my business again because of the ****ty quality.

"black chrome" isn't a very consistant color, for example, RH's super black is much different from 5Zigen's SMB...............the SMB is only barely darker than chrome, what you want is almost black right?

Rays Black Metal Coat
Racing Harts Super Black Coating
Enkei's Special Brilliant Coating
Works Metal Black
BBS Plasma
SSR Super Black Chrome
These companies all utilize the Permastar process for their black chrome and I would say they are all conistent in color. Remember, depending on the lighting a finish may seem brighter or darker.

So could I find a shop that can do the Permaster finsish on just the spokes of the RH J8 and have it exactly match three other factory finished ones from RH?

Will it look close to the same color as the Black Chrome Emblems Courtesey Nissan sells?

Remember, this finish isn't applied like traditional chrome plating. Its basically a paint/powdercoat.

I wasnt sure what the process was so I wanted to be sure that minimal weight, if any, would be added.
Do you think the color would be similar to the Nissan Emblems I posted a link to?
