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...

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
Yeh, it's the web not egrish 101.. Maybe he should change his name to TeachusSteve

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.
