I had to see what all this Plasti-dip craze was about so I did my wheels.

A.J.C. · 02-18-2013, 12:48 PM

The product itself is pretty cool. I don't think I would plastic dip the car. I will stick to small things. My wheels need to be refinished anyway so I figured I couldn't hurt them by testing out plasti dip on them. Love it or hate, at least its not permanent.

The white looks pretty good. Much better than the matte black would, great choice. +1

Zettinger · 02-18-2013, 12:55 PM

Looks very good. I did my Z4 kidneys and it came out perfect.

I also did for fun refinish my old M3 ashtray. I already replaced all the interior parts with new ones but the plasti dipped ones came our great!

peytonracer4 · 02-18-2013, 12:57 PM

Those wheels in white look GREAT!

ImSoFreaknWhite · 02-18-2013, 12:59 PM

I really like it, I would go get them powder-coated that color though!

Surrept · 02-18-2013, 01:24 PM

Yeah I was getting ready to post 'FUGLY". Then I saw you did them in white. Looks great man. Contrast is lovely.

stevenluczynski · 02-18-2013, 01:25 PM

I'm sure they will look this good after the break dust bakes In

Heheh. True. However if you are running with ceramics it might not be too bad. Once I switched to ceramics I rarely had to clean my wheels.

It's ight

HallisterJ1 · 02-18-2013, 01:43 PM

Hell yeah, fellow plasti-dip brother! Looks sick, keep it. PS: You can go through any carwash with it on, I personally clean my plasti-dipped rims once a month. I have no brake dust from new rotors/brakes.

Nice. Good info for OP.

WheyArea · 02-18-2013, 01:49 PM

Now spray paint them the color you actually want lol

A.J.C. · 02-18-2013, 02:41 PM

I think it turned out pretty good. The hardware store only carried black and white. I really don't like the look of black wheels on orient blue. I'll keep them this way for a while and see how well the plasti dip holds up to brake dust. My brake bads don't emmit too much dust and I wash the car atleast once week so it should hold up for a while.

Smart move. Black rims look awful on pretty much every car, ever. Only a few instances where they look good. I really consider it to be very poor taste when people paint their rims black or purchase black rims that pretty much look like they are covered in brake dust from the factory. I realize everyone has different preferences, but if I showed you a picture of a piece of poop, I'm pretty sure the general consensus would be that its not appealing to look at. And black rims look like poo.

That is my opinion

White looks good! I still think silver would fit better though

That is the 'correct' opinion!

A.J.C. · 02-18-2013, 04:16 PM

Although I don't like black rims that much, I am guilty of having them on my previous car. Sorry guys lol.

Surrept · 02-18-2013, 04:29 PM

Honestly. I would argue that is one of the few cases where it looks decent. And I am a supreme black rim hater!

TallSkinnyMatt · 02-18-2013, 05:55 PM

Wow the white looks really good!! Definitely powder coat them now
