Painting the chrome in the Luxury wheels? (1 Viewer)

[DWallaceMD]

I have a 2025 Luxury in Nori Green, and I really like the looks of all black wheels. Mine are nearly all black, but they have a little strip of chrome on each "spoke". I covered the chrome with black electrical tape on the rear wheel in the photo. May be a dumb question, but do you think there is a way to just paint the chrome portion black? Or would I need to have the entire wheel painted, or get new wheels?

I should have googled it first. Apparently they have a kit. See link. Hopefully will work

I have been thinking about the same concept. Another member on here had the premium + wheels powder coated black, here. Could reach out to see what all that entails.

If you want a finish that lasts, pay a tire shop to unmount the tires and have the rims coated at a local powder coater. They are easy to find on Google and Yelp.

If you just want something temporary until you swap out the wheels, the vinyl kit or Plasti Dip will work. Plenty of YouTube tutorials on the latter and you can touch it up if you need to.

Powder coat them. You'll be very happy you did. I absolutely despise what manufacturers are doing with these "two tone" style rims as of late. I also have the Nori Green and I did my rims in a triple bronze powder coat. Makes the factor rims way more palatable. Otherwise, buy an aftermarket set. Powder coating all four shouldn't cost you more than $500-800 depending on where you are located (for basic black).
