Looks great man. Did you put a gloss finish on your wheels? I'm about to plasti dip my rims this weekend, but I want them to look like yours. Most rims that are plasti dipped that i see in person always look matte.

Thanks!!! I did add gloss to one of the wheels but it looked kind of too shiny and i just wanted to look matte black i rather keep it without glossifier but depends on your taste if u wanted to look more of a matte finish then dont add gloss to it otherwise is gonna make ur rims look shiny.... U can kind of look at the difference if u pay close atention to my from wheel it has gloss and the back wheel doesnt

Yea, you made the right decision. The matte black definitely looks better on those rims. I dont know how they would look on mine though. Also did you have any damage on your rims? If so did the plasti dip go over that pretty easily? The last owner curbed rashed my current rims pretty badly so im hoping this plasti dip will cover all that up

ya think?
Saw a Plasti Dip display while at PepBoys this week, had to contain myself to keep from kicking over the display!
If you intend to change the color of your wheels Plasti dip is not the best way! Powder coating will make your wheels "Bullet Proof!" Sure it might cost more but you can forget ever having to worry about any wheel damage. Or using rattle can high heat paint will at least not peel off and you can still touch up if you get curb rash.
