Shadow black/chrome wheels, pic's anyone?

[hbeck]

As the title really, need to see some pictures if anyone has any some.

I'm not worried what type of wheel, just need to see the actual finish, I've searched for black chrome on the web, but the pictures just look like a high gloss black finish

TIA

Think I am right in saying that the standard E39 m5 wheel was "shadow chrome". It's kinda chrome but with a darker side so not blingy - yet its not really a colour like say an anthracite, so in bright sun they can still look very silver - hard to really get across in a picture but this one isn't bad.



Keep an eye out for previous shape M5's though and you should see them in the flesh.

Cheers for that TC, didn't think about the beemers.

So is there such a thing as a "black chrome" finish or is it the same as "shadow chrome" ?

Always thought they were different names for basically the same thing, maybe one was trademarked or something - could be wrong though.

Racing Green had some spiders in a similar finish at the Brooklands last week.. give them a call..!

Dom from TVR Power has some Smoked Chrome Spiders now on his Sag. Beleive he got them from Dream Machines.

Have a look here also (2nd pic down). Not smoked but just Chrome. Too bling?
