depends what you plan on doing with them. Daily driving I think they will last quite a while. Mine are showing some pretty excessive wear from a few AutoXs, so not so long. THANK GOD.

This is not true, I've had mine done for probably 6 months or more and they still look great. I hit em with a pressure washer, some Simple Green, scrub, then rinse, still look new. Every once in a while I use tire shine on them since it's rubber, makes them look glossy. The stuff isn't just going to peel on its own if you prep well(clean, dry, alcohol wipe) before spraying them. If you do get a spot that gets scratched or starts to peel use some paint thinner to smooth the spot out and put another coat on. Mine have even been through a tire change (when I went from winter tires back to the stock ones) I did have to do a touch up but that was it. There is even a video on www.dipyourcar.com on how to do spot fixes. Super easy to do and easy to undo if you want to as well.

Here's what mine look like after all they have been through:


All of them look like this (they haven't been cleaned in a few days) Don't look at my dent

You didn't have to use any glossifier right? Just plasti dip and that's it huh?

Response not likely. Last login was a year ago. Wheels do look nice.

just plasti-dip but given that theyre wheels, a hell of a lot of elbow grease to get them clean and brake dust free would go a long long way.

My wheels are dipped black for about 4 months now, I also used a glossifier to get a nice gloss finish. Really happy with the result and they wash up great. Only issue is they can attract dirt pretty quickly.
