No, had you done a SEARCH using Plasti-Dip you would have discovered it isn't hard enough to survive on wheels. Even quality paint won't last on wheels for very long, powder coating is the best way to change the color of your wheels!

Wrong. I used to paint wheels all the time. But I used automotive quality paints, not rattle cans. It ended up being as durable as the oem paints.

Powder coating is definately harder and more durable than normal paint. But normal paint is plenty durable if done right.
