Talking Plasti-Dip Wheels

I was bored today and Plasti-dipped my wheels. I liked the way they turned out. What do you guys think?

Looks good, is the plasti-dip at all glossy or is it completely matte?

That looks great man. I think the look of black wheels is awesome. One of these days I want to get mine powder coated black.

Awesome, looks like you did a good job on them. How many coats did you do on them?

And does anybody know how well they will hold up over a winter season?

a buddy of mine did the same thing, he did 3 coats of it and the winter chipped em up pretty good... also when you get them balanced the weight will chip and flake it off as well. you can get them weighed in behind so there not on the front, but the adhesive weights tend to fall off. im going to go with flat black bedliner for the rims as those are meant to withstand winter conditions.
