Default Having some trouble

Im looking for some 18" rims to go on my BSP that have a flat black center with a chrome lip. Im leaning towards something with a 6 spoke or higher, maybe a 5 if i like em. Any ideas where i can look for something like this? Maybe a certain brand? Ive looked everywhere and im not having any luck.
Thanks guys

Get one that's already black with a polished lip. Then paint the spokes flat black.

This way when the flat black paint chips, the original black will be there, and it won't look as bad. The chips will hardly be noticed.

Yeah - just make sure you mask everything off well.

Use a at least 3 coats. In fact, to protect the job a little better, you can buy clear coat that also has a flat finish.
