Yep, same wheels. To get anything neo chrome would require anodizing at the very least

Might have to get silver though, almost all the black ones are back ordered.

[Ryan...]

I bought them in black.. Now I have to decide between 235/40 and 245/40.. I'm leaning towards the 245 to kind of take away some of the wheel gap.

or you could just drop that highboy beast, its not like its current ride height is useful in snow or anything

I'm looking at picking up a full "summer" suspension setup (2" lower up front, 1" rear), then throwing my current (taller) suspension back on for the winter months. Plus, I now have winter tires lol

silver wheels are the best on black. black wheels disappear. gold stands out too much.

i always wanted to try a dark bronze though, but pulling it off would depend on the wheel style.

Ryan, black chrome them, they'd look good on it with it currently silver, an when if you go black, it'd still look sharp, black chrome is sexy

[Ryan...]

If I could find someone to coat them like that......

[Brian.]

Yeah I don't know how you'd go about that... I don't even know how they black chrome them. I'm assuming it's the same as if you were to chrome a rim, aka dipping it, but in black chrome.

It's probably similar to anodizing then, but I don't know how to go about doing that to something a large as a wheel.. I used to get my paintball gun accessories anodized often..

black chrome is simply a black powder coat after chroming

[Ryan...]

Brian, I'm workin a double tonight and tomorrow night

I asked for overtime and now they're stealing my Friday/saturday nights lol

How do you powdercoated over chrome? Lightly spray black over the chrome?

[Earl]

Is anodizing Shizzit expensive?

[Ryan...]

Getting paintball guns done was usually around $200. That consists of a bunch of separate pieces plus disassembly etc...

[Brian.]

I'm assuming black chrome would be pricey, but so sexy

[Ryan...]

So, who here is into guns and such?

I got all this stuff for work, with a 15% discount, for $234.56 (not including glock). Now I need to start shooting a ton of rounds, who wants to go??

[alexw]

Let's go!

I don't have any 9mm's anymore. Sorta wish I did, ammo was decently priced.

[The Full Banana]

I bought reloads from Deerfield Pistol for pretty cheap, target use only. So far I've put about 150 rounds through it and cleaned it 3 times lol

I'm not a member of any clubs, I've got all this stuff for my job, and I'm taking a 40hr firearms class so I can be armed at work.
