Looks good man. I like the chrome lug nuts with black wheels, being that I did the same myself.

I was unsure if I wanted black lug nuts or not, I am with you though, I think the chrome lug nuts is a nice contrast

Looks great on the wheels.

What does the chrome look like when you take it off and how hard is it to remove?

Eventually I will get the chrome on the bumpers either color matched or blacked out. Might try the plasti dip on the bumpers just to get an idea what it would look like if PC.

Looks untouched. It's amazing how well the stuff stays on for how easy it is to take off. I have power washed my rims twice now trying to get it to peal and couldn't but yet I can take my finger nail to some of the over spray I had and it peals right off like a bandaid

Sounds like it's going to be added to my project list.

How about Road Oil/Tar? I've seen a few sets of flat black paint that seems to show every drop of oil from the Highway.

Ive driven about 100mi so far since doing the wheels and have no issues with that. Maybe its just my area though. Drying the wheels kinda sucks now since the surface is textured.
