Does anyone know of a wheel that looks like the Saleen Black Chrome wheels?



I really want those wheels for my car but would rather spend a little less money. Most of the black wheels look too black for putting on a black car (I don't want a completely blacked out look). The finish on these looks awesome.

Aw man, I want em too

 

Aren't those the limited Saleen Dark Horse wheels?

 

I talked to someone at Saleen and they just said they are their Black Chrome wheels. $1800 a set I think they said (or maybe it was $2800). Was hoping maybe there was something similar for less money. If not and they are $1800 I might try to swing that in the spring.

 

Hyper black is very similar to black chrome, but cheaper. What about these hyper black Boss wheels?

I'd have to see more pictures of real cars with these on them. In the pics on AM they don't look quite as dark as I'd like. Plus I'm not sure I like the style as well. The Roush Hyber Black doesn't look too bad but they are pretty much the same price as the Saleen wheels. Though I've seen them on ebay a little cheaper.

Hyper black is normal black paint, but with a very very thin coat of silver overtop, and then enough clear and polish to get that near-mirror finish. It all depends what angle and lighting you look at them as to how dark or light they'll be. Essentially it's a cheaper way to achieve a black chrome look. Black chrome is chemically altering the plating to look black, but maintain the mirror finish of chrome. The coating itself is extremely expensive, which is why all the true black chrome rims are $$$.

If you want the look without the price, Hyper Black is your answer.

 

Very informative. Thank you.
