Sorry for the thread jack @fenton Back on topic, how are they holding up? I originally wanted to do the white plastidip (for that rally wheel look) but was worried they'd get dirty very quickly with brake dust, etc. How easy do they clean?

Off topic, but also noticed your tails did you do those yourself too? Been too chicken to do it myself.

Thanks for the compliments. They are holding up well I will update with how they look after week or so.

The tails were done by a shop here in cgy and they mixed candy apple red with clear. I love the look and it's holding up perfectly.

I think they will get dirty pretty easily but plasti dip is easy to clean you just spray them down with the pressure washer.

Looks good but I think it draws more attention to the weak stock stance, spacer time?

you should put 20mm spacers in the front, 30mm in the rear, drop it an inch and get 225/45 tires

You would think that it does but it really doesn't it's kinda weird.

I still want some springs and spacers to complete the look though.

Very carefully but seriously, plastidip is a lot tougher than you think. You can actually clean them like regular wheels with some soapy water and a sponge or soft brush, maybe even a moderate pressure washing, just don't go at it with a stiff/steel brush or anything.
