Is it worth powder coating my wheels right before winter?

I am not anti plasti-dip by any means. If you want to use it more power to you for doing it yourself and coating something in textured rubber. But if you are looking for a quality looking coating for a car, spend the money to do it right.

Black wheels + salt?
Come on, anyone who's ever lived up north knows salt looks like **** on anything, but especially black.
I'd leave them, they'll look much cleaner longer if left unpainted.
Edit: The plastidipped wheels don't look half bad, if that's what the pics signify (can't tell, as the top pics looks much less of a deep black, but that could be reflection from the road itself). Also, with black rims, it makes unshined tires stand out and look bad. Get some foam or something on them! You paint/dip em, you have much more upkeep now.

lol thats not my parking man, I was parked outside of a shop. And hell no that **** ain't plastidipped or w/e you call it. Got em sandblasted & PC'd for $350. And ya I know salt makes everything especially black look like ****. But I wash my car like once a week during winter so I don't care.

That's awesome man. Ya I wouldn't have been able to leave my car for 3 days. I got lucky cuz my buddy had his stock wheels sitting around so I just threw those on.
