FR500's

I just recently done some digging into 20" FR500's. (Since they don't make them in 19's that I can find)

Anyways I have two questions.

One, has anyone owned black chrome finished wheels? If so how do they "wear". I've heard they "oxidize" easily.

And two, what size tires do they recommend for 20" wheels on 2011-14's? I'm trying to keep my speedo as close as possible because I plan on running my stock wheels in the winter.

Thanks.

I have had some black chrome wheels, they were bullet style from AM. I was new to the game so I didn't know if it was normal, but it almost seemed like they were dipped while showing oxidation on the steel. In the right light, you could see it behind the finish. I notice they were not available very long.

A local powder coater told me that its best to get the black chrome finished wheels clearcoated.

Thanks for the tips. I was thinking the same thing if they oxidize that easily.

Anyone know of a site or something that shows "recommended" tire sizes for 20's for an 11-14 GT? I wanna keep my speedo as close as possible to what it reads with the stock 19's if at all possible.
