Why not just paint your wheels instead? It looks ok now but there's no way that's going to hold up long term.

How do you figure? Check out the modifications forum there's a whole thread on plastidip. I did my emblems over a year ago with no peeling/chipping. People have painted there wheels with it and had it hold up great.

I've seen mixed results looking around on the internet on other forums. Unless you really prepped the wheels well, I don't see the plasti-dip holding up as well as paint in the long term. I guess it probably comes down to what kind of conditions you subject your wheels to though.
