wow, thanks guys.

i didn't expect to get these many positive comments.

this is a pretty good DIY for all of you wanting to change your wheels up a bit. i mean, whats the worse that can happen. for a $25 project, this plasti-dip is awesome!

there are plasti-dip removal DIYs on youtube but it's really simple -- just start peeling off from a corner and work your way around. it's that easy. the key here is you have to have enough coats when you plast-dip your wheels so that you have a thick overall paint which makes it easier to peel off during removal process. i did 5 coats on my wheels.

Eh, I wouldn't Plasti Dip wheels. Plus, I really like black wheels with polished lips.
