I have thought about this as it seems it would be a good way to keep wheels looking newer after the track. But then I remembered all of the damage and abuse my track wheels have taken over the years, and thought better of it. I have seen pieces of brake pad come off and attach to wheels along with just the dust. Hot messy stuff that can damage the wheel finish. I think the mess would be worse with plasti-dip and I really don't want to take the chance of having permanent plasti-dip. So I decided that I would just let my track wheels take the abuse as-is. I think this is the much safer option. I am not that particular about the looks of track wheels anyway.
