Anyone plasti dipped stock rims white on a Kona

I am thinking about plasti dipping my rims white on my Kona Boss with the white stripes. I love the matte black accents on the car like the front and rear diffuser because it compliments the matte white, however the almost glass like finish on the rims and the rear spoiler make no sense to me. I just wanted to see if anyone had done this yet so I could see the color combo.

I actually plasti-dipped my 19" stock GT rims in white a few months ago. Initially I really liked it, but after just a couple of days of driving the resulting texture from the plasti-dip really picked up any little bit of dirty/brake dust. It shows up drastically on the white plasti-dip, not nearly as much as it would on the black plasti-dip.

I may try it again to get a smoother finish, maybe with the glosser as well.. but I took it off after a month.

Do you have any pictures of it on your car? I might end up doing matte black simply because it won't show dust as much and it will look similar to the plastic accents, I still think I will do the wing white though just to match the roof.
