+1, Or even a satin finish, red is too bright a color to contrast it with flat black.

Yep satin. I found that gloss only looks good if you can keep your tires shiny all the time. Once they start to dull, it looks a bit weird. Satin will look better.

Sorry but I think it looks cheesy. Never have been a fan of coloring stock rims.

Just repainted them today along with the trim grill. Looks more like a satin finish. I'll post some pics up soon

I've never worked with plasti-dip before. My current car is leased and I figured it could be a good inexpensive alternative to change the wheels temporarily (since the car needs to be returned stock). Is it true that you can just peel it off? Please explain the process

Well, PD (PlastiDip) does peel off fairly easily, and it isn't very resistant to high temperatures either. I've tried using it on my stock rims as well, and I think you have to go with sating or glossy finish, but to the versed Mercedes Benz driver, you'll still know it's PD.

next thing you know, you bring it to the wash and all your PD comes right off the wheels.

it actually holds up very well. both in high temp. and rain. but it wasnt meant to be permanent. ive actually tried power washing it to see if it would come off and it didnt. especially if you put multiple coats. but this was just to see what they would look like black. lol
