Getting ready to ship out the wheels for PVD, I'm leaning one way, but I won't say until most have posted.
*not my car, just photoshopped*
For a white car, what goes better, bright chrome or black chrome?
these are other peoples cars, not photshopped
bright chrome:
painted graphite, not black chrome

I think bright chrome, personally. Black Chrome would be better on a plain white or a black car. With the Pearl White the chrome is going to pop a little more.

I'm leaning towards the bright chrome, but I think I would like to see another angle of black chrome before I can say definitively.
With what you've been saying about PVD and its pricing, I am severely tempted...

I think the bright chrome is better suited to the lighter colored cars.

The black chrome is very unique and I really like it. The bright chrome is classic and looks really nice if you have the pearl white. I think it is going to depend on the look you are going for.
Can't wait to hear what you choose.

I too would like another angle of the black chrome. If you did go with the black, I suggest cutting the exhaust tips off and having them done as well that way all the metal matches

The wheels would look really nice in black chrome, and tinting the windows would tie it all together.

Bright chrome for the win!
Black looks really good too, but it doesn't look as classy or clean as bright chrome.

Bright chrome. If it were a black car I'd definitely do the black though.

Methinks Bright Chrome. Black chrome would clash too much with the pearl white I think.
If, like others said, it was just a plain white, then black chrome would have looked better.
