Smoothies w/o chrome???

Are there 16" smoothies available without any chrome? Bare or painted/powder coated. Looking to run all black rims with chrome center moons and 2" white walls.

Just what I was looking for Tigger. Thanks!
One thing I noticed with the wheel vintiques for the HHR is that the moon sits a lot further out from the center versus some of there other styles. Is it just the type of moon? Or is it the only option for us?

It has to do with the offset of the wheels for the HHR. Rims for most rear wheel drive cars have a 0 offset. So the mounting surface is dead center of the rim. Our front wheel drive HHR's have an offset of around +40 mm. Thus the mounting surface is closer to the outside of the rim making the moon closer to the egde of the rim.
