Default I have some anthracite plastidip. And....

I wanted to know if I could get some feedback on how it looks. Should I proceed with the look or not. Maybe put some glossifier over it? What do you folks think?

Thanks.

looks like bad brake dust with it only on the frt wheels. even though I think the black wheel thing is pretty played out, I like it. with that said, I like it on darker vehicles. black, gray, graphite, maybe even pewter. im not wild about black wheels on a white truck.

looked at the pic again. it's more gray than black. i'm curious what it would look like with the entire truck done with the stock wheels left alone. report back with pics

Thanks for your reply! Do you mean the entire truck done in the plastidip? That would be interesting. I did the other wheel to match, but I am still undecided. I think I am going to hit it with some glossifier and then post up some more pics.

I agree , black wheels are like belly buttons every one has em .

I like the grey , it's different , I did the same to our Tahoe wheels , and I also painted metallic grey over the Plastidip . Turned out great and has lasted 2 winters already . I like white vehicles with grey wheels , not black.

I like the look of it. I would do the glossifier like you mentioned, but that's just me.

I did the wheels on my gray nissan leaf and think it looks awesome. I just bought some 2014 GMC Sierra's that I plan to PD in gray for my RCSB.

I think it would look great with a some gloss over the wheels.
