Either way, don't do it.

But, it is your car and we all have different taste.

The great thing about plastidip is...if you don't like the way it looks, you can take it off. Try it out and see if you like it.

Seems like everyone on here hates on plasti dip lol. If you take your wheels off your car, and do it right, it can look pretty good for a cheap do it yourself. If you are going to do your wheels black, finish with a couple coats of the glossifier at least. But that's just my opinion. I hate the look of matte black wheels lol. BUT, It's your car, do what YOU want to do! Here are some pics of my plasti dipping adventures thus far! Grille is matte black. left the chrome A. Tried anthracite gray for my wheels, 4 coats, with 2 coats of gloss. And also tried plasti dip copper, 4 coats matte black, 4 coats copper metalizer, and 2 coats glossifier.
