Hows the plasti dip holding up on your rims?!

One of my friends is a plasti dip fiend... and was about to plasti dip my entire car when I was asleep, but hes trying to convince me that my rims will look good

I might just buy new rims or powder coat them??

My vinyl guy tells me not to vinyl rims because the heat just peals it off, keep me updated!

I wouldent vinyl my rims

Its been over a week and not even a sign of any damage to the rims, they look great! I was going to powder coat mine professionally, but I thought hmmm 24 bucks for a few plasti dips or 300 for a legit paint job, considering the plasti dip looks pretty good im glad I did it!!

plasti dip,.... good stuff

Plasti dip holds up well on rims. Friend with an e92 had his wheels plasti-dipped and they held up real well.
