If you liked them dipped then just go ahead and get them powdercoated. plastidip isnt a permanent solution to fixing your wheels.

the one that was dipped and removed looks a bit closer to a type-s wheel shade but then again my eyes could be playing tricks on me. i'm just trying to make sense of this.
could be camera trickery, dirt + shade etc. but idk i kinda like the more silver look, more contrast for my CBP.

dip looks good and all, but once done they are harder to clean and anoying and dull. but like i said if i can get all 4 rims perfectly silver im fine with that, if i cant im going powder coat. andd sorry for not multiquoting yall

My grill has been done close to a year now on my TL. But it's not dull. You need to take care of it. I take care of mine with Back to Black about every 2 months or so on it and it looks great.

that doesnt sound right...you can rub plastidip off with your finger by rubbing on it long enough. I dont think you can do that with OE wheel paint.

Yes you will. Your grill is platidipped. That will eventually need to be re-done unless you paint it for realz.

Just saying.

Plus, if you painted the grill "for realz" it would chip more easily than plastidip.
