Default So, i had to try it...(Plasti-dip)

Well considering i work at a place that sales the hell out of it, i made myself a deal...So after a few drinks one night i just had to....


One coat on, when i saw the early shine i thought it didn't look bad..



Dried..More of a flat black look so i said hmmm...



On the truck...





2 weeks later (some hated it others thought it was different, some said bad ***, but in the end it's up to the trucks owner, me...)
So back to chrome i went (changed back down to smaller tire size again)






I honestly just did this to show you guys cause i know since that first thread i saw a lot of what if-s, on some wheel/tire combo it looks better than others, it wasn't my thing...(HOWEVER) it was a very simple task...it only took me 4 cans so around 20 bucks...when i went back to chrome it took me all of 30 minutes to peel it back off, with no hassle and no scratches...

I like it both ways! The wheels are just that great.

Still waiting in whether or not it can be painted with clear and still peel... I think someone needs to try it on a $5 decal from pepboys
