Default Anyone have plasti-dipped X package wheels?

I searched Google and didn't see any. Wondering if any of you guys have X-package 18's plasti-dipped either black or gray. Trying to figure if I want to do it or not on mine. If you have a 1G1 colored car that would be even better!

I was looking for a 1G0 with the 18" s dipped in black or gunmetal. Please share if you have a pic or know a link.

I will just throw my .02 on this topic. Plasti dip was more of a hassle with my experiences. Meaning that the black got dirty from the brake dust very quickly. The sun faded the black quickly so it was noticeable as well. The tire dressing i applied carefully got the edge of the wheel and caused the edges to start lifting from the wheel.

It was a fun project, but at the end of the day it looks cheap. Even with a ton of plasti dip glossifier it wasn't much better.
