plasti-dip* is what it says on the can. no prep work involved just
clean surface w/o wax or anything. i gotta give credit to the ram section
a ton of those guys are using it.

josh i didn't notice you could see it in that pic lol, but it's not hitting me in
the head yet. there are 2 bubles in the back corners i think the roof is
just to round or somthing.
i gotta finsh the paseenger side now haha more pics to come...

haha funny how you said that. Me and my buddie preped his 01 rims and then sprayed them with rino-liner.. Turned out AWESOME, paint still never chipped and he's been up do his rockers in mud. just took a drill and a wire wheel and just went to town and of course a bit of sand paper. worked awesome!! i would suggest it to anyone else if they are gonna paint their rims.
