Plasti Dip your wheels ?
Ran across this in the Audi forum. For those who want to see what thier wheels would look like painted you can use this stuff and peal it off if you do not like it.
apperently people are doing thier whole cars in this stuff.
don't think I would do it for the long run but might be an interesting alternative to photoshopping.

It's like rubber paint I do work for a guy that gets pre production cars ready for display at car showers etc for ford/jaguar and if they want it whatever colour he paints it with this stuff then peels it of later!!... Trick stuff.

I'm going to do my 996 wheels this weekend. I'm going to spray the black then the gloss. We'll see what happens. I was going to paint them black with a silver lip, but they will get replaced soon and I don't want to make the effort.
I'll post pictures as I go.

My wheels have been "dipped" for over a year. I love the stuff. It really changes the look of the car car for little money, and it just peels off when you don't want it anymore. Now it's available in bronze, gun metal, and other finishes. (no affil)
Plus I haven't cleaned the wheels in months, they get just a quick hose off now and always look perfect. I can't imagine how much wheel cleaning time I've saved...
It's bug season around here, and Plastidip makes the perfect temporary bra too!!

+1 on the headlight rings. Great paint protection.

I'm in too; did mine right before fitting them for warmer weather. March, maybe? No issues and def no regrets. While I did do some of the inner rim from the rear, I didn't mask the tires at all. Know what? Looks great, can't tell, kinda looks like matte tire dressing (without the sling). If you like the look at all I recommend it.
May do the whole car; be fun to go from black to ORANGE!* all of a sudden and for just a while.
