You also pray it on the tires too? I don't think it would last long on the tires, and when it starts peeling, the one on the wheels would start going too.

Yeah, no I don't like. It washes the car out IMHO. If you wanted to go darker on the wheels, get a shadow effect.
I forgot who makes it, but there is a company that makes a spray that goes on chrome to give it that black chrome look. It actually looks pretty good. Just know know how long it would last.

IDK, Even if it was flat, it would still wash it out. Its just the 17's with the taller sidewall is just too much black. If the rim was bigger and the spoke pattern was more defined, then it would work, but just with those, it just doesn't look right. Again, Just my opinion.

I like it! Same rims as me and thats my plan as well. As for spraying the rims and having issues. You won't, we got guys around this area (buffalo) that have had their rims sprayed for 3yrs now. So no worries there.

Hey Dark, I am just curious. SO how would you clean the wheels? Usually I will use Sonax Full Effects wheel cleaner, iron cut, assortment of brushes and sometimes a powerwasher. How does the plastidip hold up with all of that?

That's the exact same thing I was thinking about in my head while I was spraying it TwinTurbo. It's just temporary right now, I'm getting me some wheels some time soon.

I have all my chrome emblems done and I have asked them the same questions. I have been through the car wash numerous times with no issue. Power washers with no issue as well. As for harsh chemical cleaners I cant answer that.
