Haha it's been a while since I've done anything to the car. No money since I'm just a broke high school student :/ LOL.

Anyway I decided to plastidip my rims the other day. I wanted opinions. I've generally been getting mixed reviews. People say they like it, people say they don't. I wanted to see what you guys think. I honestly think they look alrite, just kind of funny with the center caps.

on a corolla.



Peel that plastidip OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

tobwac

Doesnt look too bad but try to get some money and buy black rims just my

KillerG

dude...plastidip the entire car...

kowloonsniperhk

it looks alright. I had them on mine and it made me feel like every VW GTI kid in my area. You probably should plasti dip the emblem and lug nuts but then it'll be a bitch to get off.

ed_423

not too bad kid, i thought about doing it on mine but decided against it lol

u should plastic dip your hood and trunk, so from far away you look like you have cf hood/trunk. LOl

i say rock them for a bit, then peel them off when u get sick of it

TSXKid2010

I just peeled it off.

I'm glad I did this before I dropped $2000 on rims, I'm not sure if I want to go the black on white route anymore. Will try again when/if I drop my car.

I saved up for rims, but something came up and I had to pay for it.

Mr. NC

LMAOOOOO

Plastidip yo face bro?

KillerG

looks like tyrone really got to you

+1 on plastidipped face

PersianBoi

Does plastidip become permanent after a certain time it's on? Or will it just peel off when ever? Say like 2-3 years later, would it still peel off?

pbhak002

Plastidip would not stay on the rims for that of a long time to began with. Eventually due to daily driving, the plastidip will chimp, and come off. But no it will never be permanent.

KillerG

here you go nam, get a white cna of plastifip and try both

pbhak002

Im digging the white plastidip killer. lol

ssjoeboe9

I'm actually thinking about plastidipping my rims on my pwp, but I have already painted my A on the centercaps red. Maybe it will look better without leaving them plain.

PersianBoi

I wanna paint them black, with a blue lip, and blue lugnuts. What do you guys think?

ttk5

donno if that will look good with our stock wheels. here are some other wheels that have a blue lip on em if your interested.

ed_423

yeah i say leave it lol

dont do that on stock wheels, do what ttk suggested


those weds are AWESOME.

live2hit01

i like the black wheels on the PWP, but i just dont see the plasti dip holding up for any kind of extended period of time.

PersianBoi

I would put on new rims instead of plastidip, but rims dont come cheap. And if I do manage to find wheels for a good price...tires aint cheap either.

PersianBoi

^^Unless people know of any wheels that would fit directly in the stock tires?

you don't want 17" aftermakewt wheels on such a big bodied car. Get some spacers and lower her...that's more of a priority in my world.

KillerG

the exact same size wheel would fit the tires, but like someone said, if youre gonna spend the money on new rims, why buy 17s again? go big or go home right?

ttk, those rims, the middle one, is fucking gorgeous. I hate black rims and i am quite smitten by that wheel

TSX2010M

My plastidip has held for 9 months now.
This pic is from tonight just for you

TSXKid2010

I'm not sure if I like black anymore haha. Maybe a glossy dark grey or MAYBE a glossy black.

The plastidip should last a while under normal circumstances

ssjoeboe9

REVIVE! Did you end up keeping it or peeling it off? I've got some combinations I want to try with my wheels. I like plastidip on stockies.

as time goes on, your taste will change.
hopefully, something more classy

TSXKid2010

Peeled off almost immediately. Plastidip is actually pretty difficult to remove...

I got some idea in the WORKS right now...

White on white on white on white...

HondoGermany

Hey Kid, I dont understand it right. Did you peel the Plasti DIp off because you didnt like it, or did it peel off itself, because of rain, washing, weather etc. and then it was hard to remove the rest of the Plasti Dip?

TSXKid2010

Cuz it was ugly!

opboarding

You should have spray painted the plastidip bronze or cyan or something just to see what it would be like.

PyroDave

my wheels are currently plasti dipped. i'll actually be fixing it up soon. i did it in the dark and it didn't come out as well as it could have. i kinda like the look on the vortex blue. i'll take some good pics soon to show it

tobwac

"cuz it was ugly"

hah

ssjoeboe9

+1 I actually want to paint mine, I think I might clear coat it afterwards, and maybe add a little red in there. We will see how I feel the day I do it.

TSXKid2010

I was actually thinking about spray painting them, but way too much work lol...to busy for that.

These wheels are way too small to look good on this car no matter what colour they are

tobwac

^ true

ssjoeboe9

LOL @ colour.... With a drop I think they look great, There are very few aftermarket rims that look good on the tsx imo. Hopefully when I get my springs installed I can show how good these OEM rims can look, with the right "color"

opboarding

Just spray paint the tire too so it looks like the rims have a huge lip. leave a little black near the tread so you have some tire. This might only work out if you were 1000ft+ away from the car.

Mr. NC

Alotta people have this problem

MoaarLow

Agreed, I saw a PWP TSX Dropped on Springs with Spacers, Wheels sat flush, They didnt look horrible for being a 17". It was a very OEM classy look.

Its What i would be doing before i gather the funds for a REAL & AGGRESSIVE wheel and tire, I havent seen the Grid on our CU2 Body. Very Low offset and a slightly stretched tire?

OP Springs will drastically change the appearance of the car if you go low enough, and spacers will complete the look if youre on a budget.
