if your rubbin the rims on rocks and stuff probably. but if you get dirt caked on or something it can just be washed off. I havent noticed any wear on them since i sprayed them. i dont really offroad, but 00daksport has done it a bunch since he sprayed his and he says the plastidip is tough.

i did about 3/4 of a can a wheel. not sure on how many coats but, 3-4 at least. let it dry 30 minutes inbetween coats. i didn't wait and it looks kinda weird in some spots upclose.
