Personally, I would leave them the way they were - I've always thought your wheels were awesome and wish I could afford a set... just my opinion...

Hey thanks brotha... Yeh I am just going to leave them dipped untill it starts to come off, then power wash them clean. I like the shiny also, but needed a change, can't commit to powdering a wheel in nice condition. It is just really a PITA to keep up with aluminum. Esp ones like this with all these nooks and crannies LOL

I think this is why I haven't taken the time to clean and polish up my Centerlines. I know they would look good all polished up like a mirror but I don't think I have the patience to keep them looking like that. Plasti dip is easy and easy to touch up if I need to for now

Trying to decide if I want a gloss black, flat black, or like a gun metal color when I get the PC.

Ain't that the truth. Hope he finds whatever he's looking for cuz obviously we don't know what it is.

I would go with a satin on your truck AK, not gloss or grey.. Is this stuff easy to touch up or can it bee noticeably seen? never touched it up..

The only time I touched it up was after the mounted my wheels to the rims. I sprayed the rims with the tires off and had to touch up a couple spots after the mounted the wheels so the plastidip was still pretty new and fresh. Not sure how it would look say after months or year of weather and wear. I would probably just spray a fresh coat over the whole rim instead of trying to spot fix it.

Ya I think satin would look good, I think glossy would look out of place.


Still not sure about the gunmetal grey though.. might have to photoshop that look to see if I like it.
