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!

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.
