It is a special offered colour. It states on their site that accepting orders ended on March 31, 2011. However, that doesn’t mean you couldn't achieve a similar appearance with custom work. The finish looks great though :biggthumpup:

I have been contemplating spraying my favorite very fine silver wheel color then a tinted clear over it to try to get the bbs rc black chrome finish, kind of like the burning black work finish. I may try that tomorrow at work.
