Default Has anyone plastidipped their stock wheels?

I recently saw a 10th Anni GSF in person and liked how the gloss black wheels looked. I don't want to get my wheels painted and make it permanent so I thought of plastidip with a gloss coating to mimic the 10th wheels. I don't think plastidip will give the same appearance exactly since I know it looks different so with that said:

Has anyone plastidipped their wheels? If so could you post pictures?


Thanks!!

In the past I used plasti dip on my GTI wheels and the dip lasted for years with no issues.
Now Plasti Dip just came out with a Gloss Black Dip out of the can. So def check it out.

I saw a set powder-coated on a RCF and they looked just like the anniversary edition and made me consider. Not sure I would go with the plastic dip out of a can on a GSF, but that is just me.

Black wheels are (finally) going out of style, so I wouldn't do it. Once companies like Nissan equip their Sentras and Altimas with a "Midnight Edition" (black wheels and trim), you KNOW the fad has jumped the shark.
Personally, I think it makes cars look cheap and makes the wheels look small. But different strokes for different folks, for sure.
