Nice wheels

I have mixed feelings about this. I really like the way the wheels look but not on the car. Reason being there’s too much bright work (chrome) on the car. They would actually look better on the car if there wasn’t so much chrome on the car. I’ve pondered this also. Just a point of view.

Looks very on the blue!! I did the same thing this weekend on my white! Also did the AEM intake :)

How many coats did you do ? I did 5 and used almost 4 cans ...

I would do the chrome trim as well. Then it would be a true murdered out car. Not a fan of all the chrome anyways. I'm looking to get mine blacked out as soon as I can come up with a few buck to have it vinyl wrapped.

has anyone done the rims that come with the 2.4L sport? I'm debating doing mine because a) they aren't thin-spoke like the turbo/premium wheels are and b) they're already 2 tone, so if i do dip them, idk if i want to keep the 2 tone look and just cover the brighter metal with dip or if I want to do the whole wheel.. I tend to think that the thinner-spoke wheels look better dipped than the wheel that have beefier spokes.

I feel you vwsonata, I really want a nice wheel but I have a hard time finding what I like. I have been looking at these Niche wheels in 17 x 8, they do come in 18 x 8 but I dont really want to buy new tires to.

AutoDip's New Product

It's not Plastidip, but it's similar so I figured I post it here. Used it on my Wheels, Mirrors and Spoiler.:smile: Really like the way it came out considering it's my first time every painting anything.

This looks just crazy COOL! You have cojones to do it in That color. This PlastiDip looks better and better idea every day. My rims are in really $hitty stage. They are alloys but plastic coating is peeling off, they oxidize when exposed, etc. I am going to spend few $ and do it!

Does anybody has a solution for painting callipers? They look good only in showroom. After few months they start to change color and rust. But, I am not into some baking paint. Something simpler but durable. I tried hi tepm paint - does not work. After few months - rust again.

Whats up guys.

Really thinking of dipping my car (wheels, trim's). I don't like the chrome on my car, but I can't decide on what color to dip my wheels. I was thinking Mate Black or Gold. I was also thinking on plasti dip the chrome trims mate black. Any feed back would be really appreciate it. I have a Lakeside Blue Sonata with the stock wheels and all around tinted windows.

All depends on the effect you want to create.
Contrast color to blue is yellow/orange.
Gold will stand very bold! Everybody will turn heads!
Best way is to take a picture of your car, load it into some picture editing software and play with changing wheels color.
Most important is what You like not what other suggest.
