Decided to plastidip the rims today. It was very easy to do.

Plastidip looks okay in pictures. Looks like ass in person. JMO.

Normally I would agree but I think its how you apply it. They look even better in person, everyone that sees them are surprised that they are plasti dipped.

OP, do you have any pictures of the front of your car? I like what you have done with the fog lights.

i somewhat agree. I think its a hella of a great alternative to powder coating but at the same time does look insanely cheep after no more than two weeks. I personally would not do it to wheels. maybe to a badge or faux gas cap. just my .02

IMO if you can afford a $30,000 car, you should be able to save the money to have them properly powdercoated. I mean seriously why cheap out on such a beautiful car?

Relax, I was just seeing if I perfer the wheels in black, I have no intentions of having them that way forever. Plastic dip is good cause it can be removed without damaging the wheels finish at all.

I tried plastidip on my wheels back in the spring... still haven't peeled it off. Why? It hasn't flaked or chipped, looks great, and doesn't cost me anything. I will powder coat mine someday...
