black chrome? is that like hyper black? 
They are also processed differently. They are dipped, not sprayed/powdercoated.

Orginal colors huh?... I think they look amazing the was they are but I'm getting bored of them =p and I have to get them refinished anyway =/ unless..... you want them khooger? Lol j/k. I want something alittle different.. everyone has the work wheels these colors.. I think I'm going to go for the graphite/ gunmetal with gloss black I'm going to as them about black chrome but I don't think they would want to do it.. + I want to have this done before the meet =)

I think black chrome lips will look very nice with gloss black center to match your car and grilles. Black lips might blend too much with your tires and it might give an appearance of smaller diameter wheels, especially with lighter color center. Just a thought.

My thought is with all black you loose the curves of the wheel...even between chrome black and gunmetal.....my 2 cents is i would keep the chrome lip.....its just that you are tired of looking at it everday but for others that have not ....thinks its looks dammmm good.

I'm actually taking my wheels at the end of the summer to have them completely redone as well.
I'm doing the lips Metallic Black (possibly Anodized), the centers semi-gloss black and the barrels will be done in matte black.
I think you should do it. Just don't copy me.
