19" Darkened Chrome deep wheels

Do they exist? :/ All I've been able to find that's even close is the BBS RGR, but that's not really the same finish as the OEM darkened chrome..

:o You mean with respect to wheel manufacturer? I don't know what the regional differences are, so I don't think I have a preference.. :/ Oh, and I think when I said 'deep' in the title, I really meant 'with lip' :p <-- wheel noob.

oooo, much better price point :p

I'm not sure I want chrome, but I do want a highly polished look. Once when I was travelling through the states I saw someone who had what looked like chrome because it was very mirrored, but it was darkened a bit. I'm not a big fan of gunmetal or shiny black paints. That's why I posted here hoping that someone had some of what I saw put on their 8's :p

I don't really have that much concern about weight. ^^

Thanks for all the continuing suggestions

Here in the States the darkened chrome is referred to as Black Chrome, try searching using that, it may help.

......or Hyper Black. Not quite chrome but it's high polished. Nice look.

you could always get the rims you like (design wise) then get a shop to dip them in a dark chrome batch process.
