Did you happen to see this? "Due to the nature of the processing, some inclusions (air bubbles and/or fish eyes) may appear on each wheel in the clear coat."

That's right from their website.

They came to your house and chromed your rims? Or they came to the house and picked up your rims?

My only problem is I have a limited time in the states. Wish there was one day turn arounds. Id even go as far as leaving my car with a very reputable place for a week and have them black chrome my rims.

They jacked my car up took the rims to chrome then brought them back, but this was when the car first came out... they do swap outs now, they should have a set of rims and they will swap them out for you. Give them a call.

I think I am going to go with black diamond wheel as someone has said. I called my dealer and they said that black diamond was where they would get their wheels done for the corvettes and other custom orders. I also talked with black diamonds customer service and they have 45th wheels in black chrome ready for shipment or mounted at their shop. Not to mention the way black diamond does it is suppose to be lighter and stronger than traditional chroming. Here's hoping.
