It's "classic gold" plasti-dip. I did the glossifier on the rear wheel but not the front. In person the front looks more flat. The glossifier gave the rear a more satin look. When I'm done ill do it on all the wheels

Gold is not my cup of tea and neither are those rims.

Looks good to me. However, I have to admit I like a little anything out of the norm

I like those rims.

So does the plastic peal off pretty easy in the future if you want?

Thanks. Its pretty durable when done properly. The thicker it is the easier it is to take off too.

My personal opinion is that gold wheels dont have good contrast to silver. But what I would do for sure is restore your headlights. It makes the look so much better and doesn't make the car look neglected. I would get a headlight refinish from multiple sources in your area. Just google headlight refinishing. It makes the biggest difference instead of them looking yellow ad it costs about $200 USD at most.

yeah they’ve actually been done once. I did them when the car got a ceramic coat about 3 years ago
