Black chrome vs. Powdercoated wheels

I have a black on black SS. I was getting ready to powdercoat my wheels black (probably satin) but the company doing them also does the stock wheels in black chrome. I have never seen black chrome wheels in person. So my question is, on a blacked out camaro, what would look better in your opinion? Thanks for the help. Any suggestions and pics of stockers black chromed of powdercoated are welcome. Thanks again.

i think the black chrome will give it a nice subdued bit of bling.

BTW for Black Chrome there's black chrome and black nickel..
Black Chrome is a darker chrome with a gold/copper tint......Black nickel is the deep black-chrome..

Black chroming is a triple dipped process (its a bit on the expensive side) while black nickel is about the same price as chroming a set.
