Default Wrap My Rims in Black or Matte

Anyone seen wraps on rims that would make them black or matt black ?
This would be similar to tinting.. but would probably last 1-2 year.

Why go though the hassle of vinyl wrapping a wheel? Just go to Home depot or amazon and buy like 2 cans of black plasti dip that roughly cost around 10 bucks.

I'm very interested in this. Since I still have my winters on, I could plasti-dip my F-Sport wheels before putting them on. I'm not terribly enthused by the design but I don't want to spend money on new ones just yet. Please post pics if you do it.

I black Plasti-Diped my old car before and it looked great when it was just done, but after a while it looked really disgusting. The Plasti Dip is matte in texture and if mud or mudwater gets on it, you get light brown splashes all over it and it looks really bad.

Well it really depends how many coats you've sprayed on. In addition, if you don't like that matte texture, you could always spray on 2-3 coats of gloss to give it that glossy look to it. I recommend spraying on the gloss coat if you're not really into the whole matte look. Really, thats odd can't you just use a brush and scrub it off?

Yea it's called Plasti-Dip Glossifier. Spray this over the black Plasti-Dip coat and it will come out to a glossy finish rather than a matte finish.

Anyone consider getting their roof vinyl wrapped? I have a white fsport that I think would look great with a black roof.

You mean like a 1980's (and prior) automobiles??

Why not make it a padded vinyl roof, for authenticity!

While you're at it, add some opera windows in the rear! LOL!
