those wheels are a VERY POOR representation of what black chrome looks like... actually, I wouldn't even call them black chrome... black chrome looks much better than that...

the scion has black chrome wheels

With you on that one, yet he was asking for those G35 wheels specifically, got to give him what he wants.

Now these are good looking black chrome wheels. http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread?id=310703Lately just been loving them so much, had to post them.

Doc is right . The G35 wheels in the example are a poor reprensetation because they are not black chrome at all.

OP The 19" rays on the grey ac in the example post appear stock silver or light grey, while the 18" on the white altima I believe are powdercoated dark grey/gunmetal or hyper/carbon black - not black chrome. Although there seem to be a few shades grey/"black" -

I don't think you can go wrong with any ONE of them - but it can be confusing shopping for rims and truely knowing how the color will look.

I think this is where some of the terms are being confused .



My grill is black chrome - you can see the difference between it and the regular chrome infiniti emblem. Black Chrome appears like a smoke tint over chrome - as opposed to a grey or silver.

OP - were the rims in the example post the ones you were thinking of?

Those are Boss motorsports 328 wheels... they stioll make those in Black chrome I believe, but don't quote me... last I heard, BOSS was going towards a "black diamond" look as opposed to Black chrome

Also, as Cali stated, some model G35's come with black chrome grills, and the 4th generation Altima Dedans have a "black chrome" look inside the headlights

The car in question is mine.

I have never claimed that I have “black chrome wheels”.

My wheels are “powder coated” a color called “black chrome” and look like a slightly darker shade of “gun metal” gray
