If you're planning to keep those wheels for more then 6 months I would say just get them painted. The plastidip looks ok but it doesnt have the right shine or texture. Just looks cheap and brown rather then bronze.
Im sure you could find a someone that does bodywork at home who would paint them for cheap. |

Thanks for the pics. I think the wheels themselves would look good on black or white, but on red there is a strange look that they wash into the red paint. It was worth a shot, but just missed slightly...not your doing, the plasti dip is just strange.
I would go back to black with stock lugs for now. |

Here is my car with copper autodip. I think it turned out well. The autodip definitely gives a more glossy finish, or in my case, metallic. It's pretty cool stuff.

I'm thinking about STR's in 18x9's with +35 and 245/35's. How's the fit on your wheels? Stock suspension? Thanks. |
