Lmk how dipping your rims go. I'm really curious about that. Seems like it would peel easily or ruin the rims

From everything I've read I don't think there's any chance of messing up the rims. Chipping or peeling that's prob another story but at 6 bucks a can I am going to give it a try

I did the winter wheels for my jetta tdi with the plasti dip and they turned out awesome, I didn't even mask off the rubber, just popped out the center cap, do not scuff the wheels and you can peel it all back off if it starts to look bad, 2/3 of the way thru winter and they still look great.
