Since I can never leave well enough alone, I decided to try something out with plastidip. I sprayed the bronze metalizer over my black wheels. I'm actually really happy with the result and am planning on having them powdercoated for a more permanent solution.

It's unique for sure but without being loud. I think it really complements the interior color as well.

People are welcome to post their opinions (they always do), though I don't really care one way or the other. I like it. ;)

And a shot of the right side for reference (since this was a test, I didn't do all four).

Not bad. Props to you for trying something different. Like you essentially said eff the naysayers - it's about what you like.

I like it...however do you think it's a novelty that may wear out over time (i.e., if you make it more permanent)?

I think it's awesome and works perfectly w that gorgeous interior!

Make it permanent.

That is super creative, and I think it works really well! Kudos for experimenting.

Looks great with your interior and the pccbs. Love the front end too.

DNugget991GT3 Apr 18, 2014 04:09 AM

in my opinion it looks good. not great but good. what would make it look great? Less gloss. not matte, but maybe a satin finish to work better with the gray.


edit: actually it looks to have a satin type finish. the last pic throws it off a bit. it looks really nice in the other pics.... it doesnt draw my eyes immediately to the wheels (thats a good thing).

I like it a LOH!

I think it works b/c of your matching interior.
