Chrome/Polished M228 Wheels?

So I have been looking into getting some new rims, but I do not want the typical black rims on a hyper metallic blue car. It's been done way too much, imo. So, I've been looking to see if anyone has done the m228/z28 style rims polished or chromed. To my knowledge they aren't sold like this, but I think it would look clean. If anyone has any pics of rims like this on a Camaro please post a pic below. Thanks in advance!

Mmr sells them as an optional finish. They are brushed/polished and then clear powedercoated.

They used to be a option from them, but they do not offer it. We do offer it as a custom finish we have done by our finisher.

Contact me if your interest.

I have these wheels. Didn't want black either. So I bought the optional gunmetal gray versions. But they are still a hair darker than id want ideally, and I wanted them to shine so I took them and had a clear gloss coat added to them. Gives them more pop and the appearance of a lighter finish under certain conditions. They still get mistaken for black when the sun is not on them, but in reality they aren't that black, and if the sun is hitting them, they look amazing

We can handle almost any color you want. our Full Hand brush finish is one of our most popular options aside from polishing.
keep in mind each wheel is still layered with a protective coat of Clear coat so you get that extra wet look and protect the finish at the same time.

some Brush samples
