I Plasti-Dipped my stock 18s but eventually peeled it off and did something else. It looked great at first but after two months or so, it started to look faded and got dirty really easily. So I peeled it off, sprayed two coats of Plasti-Dip, two coats of Duplicolor Satin Black Wheel Coating, and two coats of Duplicolor Clear Wheel Coating. The result was way better than Plasti-Dip alone and it costs under $20 to do all four wheels. Yes, it's removable too!

plasti dipped my wheels and grill before this past winter. put on 4-5 coats and it looked great for a few months but after the winter with all the snow, salt, and curb rash the plasti dip is starting to peel now and is also discolored. I do plan on peeling it off and re plasti dipping them again as soon as it gets nice out and this time I'm definitely going to put some kind of clear coat on it. Either dupli color or the plasti dip glossifier. the grill still looks perfect
here are pics right after it was done

Please don't plasti dip them. Every Lexus I've seen with the wheels plasti dipped I have never liked. I guess they just look too flat and cheap to me. I'd honestly rather just save and get them powder coated, or buy aftermarket.. Up to you though in the end.
Also they're not called "rims" , they're called wheels. The rim is just the outer part of the wheel. Not trying to be "that guy" but I just got off the phone with a friend who kept calling his civic a "v4" lol.
