Default So what do ya think?

Plasti dipped one wheel to see if I want to powder coat them black. I think it will be a great upgrade for the low cost i can get them done for. What do you think.


Before and after.



I think I am going to body color or black the plastic. Probably black since the wheels will be getting powder coated.

My cost is $32! I live in Ohio and we have salt, snow, and plenty of rain. Don't think it will last a year.

My wheels shown here have made it through 2 winters now with that liquid road salt crap they put down. Holding up great. Worst case, they peal somewhere, just spray another 2 coats on them and they look brand new again.

Looks better, but you need to lose the white letters and it would look that much better.
