Default What do you think

I got up this morning and did some Plasti-Dip work on one of my wheels. I like the result except for the fact that it is so hot outside that the Plasti-Dip dried so fast that when I pulled the tape off it started peeling the Plasti-Dip.

I will have to redo it, but what do you think of the look?

I think they look much better that way. Use real paint (or powder coat them), and make it permanent.

That looks awesome! To be honest I've never been a fan of those wheels, but that actually looks really good!

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of these wheels either and I would love to get some new ones, but just don't have the funds for it.

I thought it looked pretty good too. Looks like a whole different wheel and I will probably go ahead and paint them and make it more permanent.
