I'd like to see a pic. It looks like there was a problem with the pic you tried to attach.

[QUOTE=laz74;9822142]I plasti-dipped my wheels 4 months ago, and they have held up perfectly. Have done a couple autocrosses, but no DEs, so I can't speak to their trackability. But for street use, they will definitely hold up. It's a good way to decide whether or not you like the look.


How do you wash your wheels after plasti-dip? Do you just use sponge & soap?

Yes, sponge and regular car soap.

If my car was silver or black I would now be sorely tempted to change my wheels to bright orange for a while and seriously scandalize people. However, I think I'll try the charcoal instead.

Nope, they have a bunch of colors, including charcoal. Check their website.

I like the Porsche Sport Classic on a white car.

Just a thought about plastidipping your wheels - make sure they're still balanced. That stuff isn't weightless, so you better take that into consideration... At least get them rebalanced after dipping.

I am tired of the all black wheels on cars.
