There is a current Land Rover wheel finish which I think is called 'black chrome'. Saw this on some wheels on display in a local LR dealership. Hard to describe but imagine a standard silver sparkle with a thin layer of black misted over some parts of the wheel. Not a bad compromise between the conservative all silver and the all black 'gangsta' look . 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Silver then WHEN you curb them it does not show up / stand out too much |

Standard silver. Standard wheel's painted in anything other than their standard colour looks utter pants, IMHO. Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

Yes there are painted wheels done with a matt finish. I think there look good but people on here are to quick to slag people off for having a GO !!!!! |

Had some aftermarket wheels on a car(not a LR) a few years ago that were done in a chrome effect paint. Looked very nice but the finish was VERY easy to mark and after about 6 months there were places that were through to the primer despite my best efforts to look after them . Went back to the wheel supplier and was told that it was because the "chrome" finish could not be laquered over without discolouring the finish which meant a very soft vunerable finish. Ended up with a full refund and bought some black wheels
