Absolutely zero people have dipped theirs. Literally no one. It's astonishing, really.

Well, still waiting for opinions. I saw some google photos but I don't find them admiring. I might stick with Tenzo R dc6 and dip em.

I saw a Mazda today for sale, what caught my attention were the black wheels... I came back, and they were just (I guess) stock because of the name badge. I have a feeling he dipped his cause I saw a few runs.. I'm curious also how the stock wheels look dipped. < I don't really like ours now, these didn't have all the spokes.

I understood they were being sarcastic.
I guess my comment went way over your head.

I wish it were true that nobody dipped their wheels.
Plastidip shouldn't be a thing.

Do it once, do it right.

Dipped wheels make the car look cheap if it's matte.

They don't look as bad if they're shiny.

I've stated in my long ago post with pics, they look way better than stock. Had them black for about a year, then did the gold metalizer.

I guess I'll be nice and post a picture. Black base with a light coat of silver metallizer and two coats of glossifier.

So true. But sadly, I've dipped mine a bronze color to satisfy my tastes until I can buy some rpf1's.
