Went from rustoleum black to flat black + blue metalizer Plasti-Dip on my wheels. Turned out really well IMO. I did 3 coats of heavy black then 2 coats of metalizer. Also used their Dip Release on the tires. It's kind of like a cream that you lather the sidewall with and it protects the tire from the overspray. Once dry it just peals right off. Pics before:

Very Nice sir.. The more i play around with plasti Dip the more I like the idea on some applications
 
Paint thinner can help you re attach lifted areas as well as fade rips to spray more without having a line :)
 
That looks good, the only thing I don't like is that when you get tires mounted it tends to rip off the dip around the lip (that rhymed).

And most people don't put thick enough coats which makes it hard to peel off later. Nothing a little power washing can't fix though.

Some shops have tire changers that never actually touch the wheel with tire tools. If you are doing it yourself or your local shop has no such machine you can get some clear 3/4" hose from your local hardware store and cut one side of it length-wise. Now you have a cover that can go on the lip white wire is being worked with to protect the wheel. Just remove it before inflating the tire.
Another option is to cut the Dip and peel off a ring off the lip. That way there will be nothing to get damaged and also there will be a decorative shiny between tire and Dipped wheel.
 
My car has had dip on it for almost 3 years now, love it
