Default Black chrome

Anyone on here ever use the duplicolor black chrome kit on wheels? I've got some 20" 3rd gen rims I'm wanting to black out and I want to know if it's worth buying

It's more of a black tinted gloss or smoke than real black chrome. Non the less, it still looks cool over chrome. As long as your chrome is in good shape, it'll look pretty cool.

Agreed. I have seen a few examples that looked cheap and junky.

I like black rims when done right, so maybe consider some well done black paint instead.
