Default Black wheels - Removed stripe

Plasti' dipped my wheels, when it comes off it's going to stay off, i only did it to see what it would look like. I'm getting new wheels hopefully next month and trying to decide on Chrome/Black, i think i still like the look of chrome better, need opinions please!

Well, from what I can tell you did a good job on the application of the face. Can't tell inside the actual wheel though... IDK, black just doesn't seem to work on windveil... Go with chrome or machined face.

+1 go with something with a machined face like your stock wheels.. or maybe a gunmetal color?

I think the tape stripe delete looks great! I'm of the belief that windveil = chrome rims! Love that color though!

Like that fender emblem delete as well!! Nice style

I think it looked better with the stripe on. How many cans of Plast Dip did you use? I was planning on doing mine tomorrow, but the few Lowe's and Home Depot nearby were all out .

I would go for machined wheels. I agree black just doesn't seem to work to well with Windveil. Stripe delete looks good though.

By far the best color with that blue, maybe a
Polished lip thrown in for an extra pop!
I can't wait till this fad with the plastic dip and the wheel is done...I'm sorry but it looks cheap, kinda like buying some steelies at po boys.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, as for the plastidip it was only a temporary thing, it will most likely be coming off today i just wanted to get an idea of what black would look like

@Antonio323
I used 2 cans of it, i did 3 very thin coats on each wheel and barely had enough, if I was wanting it to be permanent I would have gotten probably 4, at least 3 cans, and did 4-5 thicker coats
