I like the looks of the oem Brembo wheel, but I think that I don't lose nothing if I Plasti dip them, if I get bored, I can go back, or if I like them I might paint them permanently. The best of both worlds!!. Thanks Guys!!!

I think they look great black. I may do mine since you can't get the stuff where I'm going and it might help to protect them from the brake dust and small nicks that happen from wear and tear.

yeah go for it bro,
you dont like it, like everyone says, you could remove it no probs.
just make sure you lay enough down so it is thick enough to take off in one pull.
the thinner the coat the harder it gets to take off.

I plastidipped my wheels, I like them oem or black, both ways look good. I'm not sure how long they will last, finish does not look like they will last a long time that way. I did 5-6 coats.

Well he is a mod for the site, aaand they try keeping things as family friendly as possible. Though its very slim theres still the chance someone might read that and be offended. While the odds are slim im sure thats something no one wants to deal with.

I think the brembo rims look great dipped. The darker color just suits it more. My .02

He is? His name is conspicuously neither green nor bold. I'll post however I please until an actual member of the staff actually tells me I've broken one of the forum rules. Maybe with a little extra blasphemy, just for the sensitive folks out there.

Happy Pope Day, here's a video.
