Default To Plasti-Dip, or Not To Plasti-Dip; That Is The Question
After looking at pictures, and reading other forums about Plasti-Dip, I'm seriously considering doing my wheels. I love the chrome look of my wheels, but there's something about a charger with black wheels that just looks B.A.

So do y'all think I should leave the chrome clad as is, or do the deed and go with the black?

That's not happening for a long time... We got a wedding to pay for... I figure at least this way I could see if I like it, and peel it off if I don't.

I think black wheels would look awesome on your car Art, but I agree with Daniel.

well the good thing is you can peel it
i did the front bumper, pass fender and the hood





it is what it is
i don't mind since i need a shit ton of body work
but please don't do it to your car

if you feel the cause than paint them yourself w/ real paint
its what i did on my truck and i'm glad i did it that way

True, I didn't think about that.

I may do it at first to see how it looks. If I fall in love with it, I may paint them.. However, I'm not about to just go and paint $900 factory rims without seeing how it will actually look on the car first.

Tried it, but I physically want to see it on the vehicle so I can see it from different angles and lighting.
