White PlastiDip OEM wheels (PICTURES)

So I have a little over a week of vacation until I head back for the Fall semester and I decided to pick up a couple cans of white Plastidip and get my OEM wheels painted. I couldn't find any pictures with white OEM wheels so I decided to be THAT picture. Enjoy!

Here's the before...


And here's the after...




Tell me what you think!

I wasn't aware that plasti-dip comes in other colors besides black (which technically isn't a color...). Any other ones besides black/white?

I think it looks pretty good, sure hope you have ceramic brake pads though. Definitely unique and different and not too "ricer".

why bring up ceramic brakes?

Does that affect your wheel balance?

IMO they look better without PlastiDip, but if you are happy, that's all that counts.

And at least you didn't plastidip them black...

I actually think they look pretty good!

Those stock wheels are ugly and almost looks like wheel covers in silver, but in white they have a different look.

I've seen the 14 spoke wheels black and didn't like them at all. I wanted to do something different.

Plasti dip... AttractS so much dust and easy to be scratched or peeled. I done it before and like the look it came out but overall, it is not worth of your time. Just paint it! you will ended up peeling it or repainting it over and over again...

No white sunglasses, shoes or wheels. Personal guideline.

Having said that it's not my car. Plastidip is great for trying out something and seeing if you like it - it's so easy to correct if you don't. I love that you were willing to try it, and I'm happy that you're happy.

I like it. White on white looks cool. Is the color a good match?

The only setback would be that dreaded brake dust. Ya gonna have ta wash the wheels quite often. But like I said, I like the look. May have to source that plastidip down here.

Those wheels look much nicer in white than silver. Is the white is a bit off on the wheels or just not as glossy as the paint?

The white plastidip is much brighter than the arctic white on the car. I found arctic white automotive paint ,however, and plan on making the wheels white permanently.
