Personally I like to see a little wheel where it meets the tire. Just me though.

I thought about that too. Might try it on one wheel just to see first.

DO IT! make sure you peel all the tape off while its still wet or else it will peel the paint. or if you do leave it, run an exacto knife and cut along the tape then peel it.

I wonder who's going to be the first to plastidip their whole truck? when you get tired of the color, just peel it off...

It looks better than matte back vinyl wrap in my opinion..If I get an old truck or car that doesn't have a lot of rust but has ugly paint I would totally do it..maybe spend about $300 on supplies but it would look badass.
