I was thinking about doing plasti dip on everywhere on the wheel except for the machined part

I think that looks a little weird cause the lip isnt flush all the way around, like the little parts that stick out look kinda funny

I think would look pretty good but it would be hard to pull off...

i think you could do it, just takes patients. Plastidip is pretty forgiving. I say do what i did...spray the whole wheel solid, rock if for a couple weeks and then when you want a change take a razor and set aside some time and start peeling. Maybe start with just the lip, see if you like that and give it a week or two then maybe try and tackle the rest of the wheel except for the star like your pic above...whats there to loose? $10 bucks and a couple hours? i think its worth a shot!! have at it and post pics!!

I did this a few years ago to my winter wheels, although I didn't use Plasti-Dip. I thought it came out pretty good, hadn't seen anyone do it in this style before.

That is pretty cool, I think I'll do the whole wheel for right now

That actually looks a lot better than I thought it would, I have those same wheels but chrome, I might give it a try

Thanks everyone! I liked it for a few years, but last fall I painted them back to stock silver. They look pretty bad now haha. I really want to find some cheap stock wheels for my winter setup, seems everyone on Craigslist thinks there stock wheels are made of gold haha.

Go to the junkyard and get steelies off of a w-body or if you really want to be cool, find mustang wheels

I actually made a PSD file showing exactly what you're showing, because I was going to do the SAME thing, then figured out it would turn out like crap full blown black. The dark gray works pretty well though.

I just painted the whole thing black, and it actually works pretty well with the theme of my car. : p
