that looks pretty good.. stock wheels look decent from afar.. if they were more aggressive, could be sexier.

i know this is an old thread, I've used plastidip before but its going to be my first time painting over it, wouldn't the bronze paint and clear harden? how would the plastidip still peel off like it would by itself? want to paint my wheels but worried its not removable after painting over the plastidip

you'll be fine, the plasti dip peels off with or without paint.

How are your wheels holding up? I am thinking about doing this with my winters.

well i recently took the paint off my wheels after having them on for 6 months or so. I just got bored of it and decided to go back to stock finish. They were holding up just fine, the only time you'll have an issue is if you curb the wheels.

would like to make sure I get the right product, since I love the colour, was it this one?

if not, could you please provide me with the link to a correct one

this one looks too dark no?
