Plastidip wheels

[Rjfetz1]

The first picture is anthracite gray with black centers. 5 coats, no clear. I liked this color when the sun hit them they really popped. In the shade or cloudy days they looked black.

I removed the wheels on both jobs, taped the tires, cleaned wheels really good with degreaser and alcohol. 1st coat covers 25%, 2nd coat covers 50%, 3rd coat covers 75%, coats 4 & 5 go on heavy. Opinions welcome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second picture is, well, white with black centers. Always wondered what white wheels would look like.

The first one for sure. Hope I'm not alone but I don't like the white wheels at all.

If I had to pick, I would go with the darker color wheel. Dark wheels with a lighter color center cap maybe? The lighter center cap would compliment the white lettering on the sidewalls.

No worries, your not alone. Everyone likes darker wheels. I was just thinking outside the box with color match. The good news with plastidip is it can be changed this weekend.

Never thought of the lighter center cap. I saw this wheel and tried to copy it. Its not the same w/out the bead.

This is the picture I saw that gave me the idea...........

I think the gray with black centers looks good. What about all gray? It would be interesting to see the mono-colored wheel with the chrome lug nuts.

 

Nice job.

I couldn't either...until I tried them. In my town you just blend in with dark/black wheels. I'm looking for something different. I'll bet the first time someone tried black wheels there was some who thought why? Now its become the normal.

This was the premium wheel of choice back in the 70's & 80's. You know how things always make a return.....

For what ever reason, that rim design will never go out of style. It just "works".
