white plasti dip stock rims

Just a tip its easier to mask off the tires than to pull the plasti dip off the tires.

Not trying to be an ass but they look a little rough around the edges.

They are. It was just a test run to see if I wanted to powdercoat them. I wasn't going for perfection with them.

It's an excuse for upgraded pads and rotors. Some have very little dust.

Powdercoat is a process involving some form of paint and baking it. It's tougher than just paint

Oh I know, but I'm planning on going to a big brake kit eventually, and its winter here so anytime I clean my car its dirtier than before I started.. so come summer every thing will get switched around.

And I didn't go powder coat in case I didn't like the white and wanted the stock look back.
