So I plasti dipped the wheels
Sucks man. I have some winter 350Z rims and decided to plasti-dip one and was like hell nah!!! Peeled it off right away. I don't know how much people know that washing plasti-dip wheels is a pain in the rear. For some reason the brake dust stick on the plasti-dip and it's hard as hell to clean, and to back it up that nice smooth black is just temporary because it turns brown from all the brake dust. I pass on that crap
Tried on one of my 18" G35's first, didn't like how it turned out...
So I just decided to have them powder coated. Never plasti dip wheels, wont last long! Just have them powder coated...

Not for nothing but plasti-dip isn't necessarily just black like most people get it in.

Should've just got a different color. but I agree anyway gray lustre is a hit and miss with black rims... it either looks nice or it looks like shyt

Yea the secret is to paint over the plasti-dip, i did a few coats of the plasti-dip, a few coats of black, and some clear coat to protect and shine, they came out prety good for under $20 worth of paint
^ yea thats how to get a nice solid finish when you don't care to remove the coating.
only downside is that I've read when you go to peel it off, it is very solid and brittle. Makes it an absolute royal pain in the rear to take off(if thats what you want).

That's doesn't look that bad. I'm kind of digging it. I would def try it again after the spring when you lower it.

In all seriousness, though, I have seen Plasti Dipped and then painted wheels. It actually comes out pretty well, because the PD does a fair job of filling in any types of minor curb rash/imperfections in the wheel.
Ive heard about good jobs being done from people on the internet, I think for me (as a PD hater) I'll need to see at least ONE single job in person that looks even halfway good to sway my opinion.
