What should i do with my wheels?

My wheels are really nice performance wheels, made by Koya i think. Either way, they look great and are nice wheels, but i like the blacked out look more. I heard there is a paint you can use, over chrome, to make it a black chrome. Any suggestions?

black chrome paint looks cheap like 80% of the time, any chrome that's not done by method of chrome plating looks cheap really. So id just polish the lips some and paint the spokes/inside of the rim black, but that's just personal preference.

What kinda paint would look decent over top of chrome? I dont want it to look like crap, but i dont want to ruin the wheels. They are worth a decent amount to sell, but if i can just change them.. that will work

Plasdi dip over them and then add the gloss-ifier. If you don't like it just peel it off.
