Order cans online and do it your garage/parking space.
As for ideas google silver car with (insert color) wheels. |

Just go to home depot and buy 2 cans and just do it yourself after watching dip your car on YouTube. He shows you how to wrap up your rotors and brakes. I did this and it took a couple hrs, love the results! Really simple when you get used to the spraying motions.

Thanks guys. I will plan do it myself. I am looking at a flat/matted shade of black. Not sure anything else would go well that will maintain a clean look on a silver car.

If you want black wheels, buy black wheels or powdercoat your stock ones. Plasti-dip will start peeling, chipping, and generally looking like poop after a little while.

This is true, it is very hard to keep clean, and you will most likely end up peeling it. I love the black look, but it does have its downfall with plasti-dip.

I wish I could afford new tires/rims but I have other priorities for the car. Rather put $$$ into performance mods, then deal with looks later. Plus I am okay with the stock Prius tires for now. Does anyone know how long stock tires should last?
