Would be better to do before tires go on, but don't want them to get jacked up when i get the tires put on. Or should i and if they mess them up, have them repair them? Lol

Here is another repair thread, not sure if you have to be a member to view or not http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-ge...im-repair.html

Guy did a great job on those wheels. He's lucky to find the paint that matched so well. The wheels that will be on my car are not that nice. lol.

I was thinking of doing the plasti dip w/ the glossifier.

Here's a good example of the standard black plasti dip vs black + glossifier

There's also two other products that are pretty sweet. "Metalizer". Basically, it adds flake to the wheel. Combine black as a base coat and add gold metalizer...gets you this..

Here's a matte black wheel w/ silver metalizer on it. Gives it a hyper chrome look w/ flake.

Gloss over black. Depending on the amount of coats you put on, you can obtain more of a satin or wet look.

Tons of great videos by this vendor. He explains all the colors / process / tips etc.

I agree, love that color. Going to do my wheels in that color too.
