I'm not a chrome fan but the truck looks nice as is......worse case scenario, try it and remove if you don't like. Do a photoshop perhaps?

It'll look kinda like this. These are screen shots from a YouTube video so it's not perfect. I think it looks good.

They don't offer a gloss plastidip but they sell plastidip "glossifier" seperately so after you paint them black you gloss them to your liking. They have videos on youtube using it to gloss rims. I have been thinking about using it to paint my chrome bumpers to gloss black (since its removable if it don't like it). And I think your wheels would look sharp black.
