It looks like it should have been that way from the factory!!
AMAZING transformation on those very bland rims!
2 thumbs WAY up!

Looks great! The old-style spinners OK, the ones in the video...not so much. I think it would look good with plain caps as well. Either way, a 100% improvement.
Y'know, my sister's 09 have those same wheels...

Thanks for all the compliments.
I'll probably go with some tri-bar caps to finish the wheels off.
When you look at those wheels they have parts that are smooth and then in the pockets between the spokes they are a different texture. I just painted the parts that are the rougher texture.
It took about an hour per wheel. The masking is the hardest part.
If you use Plasti-dip or any other paint for that matter make sure to peel off the tape while the paint is still wet to get those sharp,clean lines.
Also, I made 5 circles out of posterboard the same size as the base of the lug nuts to keep the paint out of the holes and to keep the lug nuts from tearing the plastidip when you torque the lugs.
I considered doing a rear blackout panel with it but I might want to quit while I'm ahead.
