After backing out on a set of $650 Drag rims, I decided to take a more economical approach and invest in a $7.50 can of Plasti-dip. Did a light coat on my rims just in case I changed my mind.

Looks good for how much it costs. And its easier to peel off if its thicker. I did the same thing on my truck.

I really should invest in a can of that stuff. I'd love to try it out, and it's so cheap!

Rim's look a lot nicer in black too, nice job ;)

For being $7.50 they don't look bad at all. Mind posting some up close pictures of the paint?

looks really good, i like plastidip. if you ever want to remove it WD-40 and a pressure washer works like a charm.
