Right. This is a new chroming process that is not typical of the old school shiny chroming process you might be aware of now a days. That process "supposedly" was very bad for the environment and was really only done down in Mexico as the US place restrictions on that process. Apparently, this is a newer lighter process that is safer and I do indeed have a 5 year warranty against chips / cracks / scratches etc. It did add a little over a pound per wheel however .. but about a pound of rotating mass isn't all that bad for great looking wheel that does NOT compromise the strength of the wheel. When I spoke to Glenn, he mentioned that there was only like 2 or 3 companies in the U.S. that was currently doing the "new" black chroming process, and he was one of them.
