WRB Plastidip White Wheels
 
Thought I'd share some pics from my most recent white plastidip job on my WRB BRZ. When I was doing the mod it was hard for me to find any good pics of the white wheels on a WRB. My cars sitting on RCE yellows so the slight drop helps.

Overall I think it came out really well - there are a few imperfections here and there but not noticable unless you're a foot away . It took 4.5 cans to paint all four wheels - definitely necessary due to the white dip's thickness.

So much better! I did the same with my raven black and have never looked back.

It's been raining her for a solid week so they have gotten a little dirty but I don't think cleanup will be bad.

Looks good:-)

Ive been on the fence about doing this to a DGM with lots of white accents. I was looking at white wheels but now Im thinking for the time being Plasti-dips a heckuva lot cheaper. Thanks for th pics!

Yep, thanks for this - I've been using a damp microfiber towel which has been okay at getting brakedust off.
