plasti dip the rest of the rims?

[viseversa101]

I decided after changing my valve cover gasket and painting the valve cover, then oil pan gasket and painting the oil pan, Putting coilovers n shocks on n painting those, it was time to do the drums, calibers, rims. This shade of red on the lip however is a different shade. I did one rim as trial and error before I do the rest. Looking for input.

I used ceramic high temp paint for the red, and plasti dip for the black.

that looks sweet i would do the other ones the same personally

It looks good, but in my personal opinion I think it would look like its "too much"...

I think it looks clean with the silver rims, and it will look like when you try and color match the dash and interior with the motor and the motor with the calipers and... you get it

But thats just one guys opinion

I agree, I feel like it's a bit too much. Maybe just try all black without the red around the outside and in the center.

Run just black, you can never go wrong!

 

[Roberti 2G]

just leave them sliver in my opinion

 

[viseversa101]

the more i look at it it is too much, maybe blacken the center cap, and the outer ring And just keeping the dish red

The red on the lip of the wheel wouldn't be so bad if it were a pinstripe. It's too gaudy as it sits IMO.

+1 on black center cap.

Less is more

Leave them all silver or paint them all black either one is fine.

Black center cap. Black drums & calipers. Bet it will look legit.

Your color scheme is too much to even think about leaving the wheels silver. Keep it moving.

And black wipers too please.

The red drums are killing it. That, and the clown nose for a center cap.

I say if you want the red around it just do a pinstripe..

Id stick with just black or like others said just a red pin stripe would look clean. More isn't always better

They looked best silver. "Time attack" pin-striping is about as "in" as black with chrome lips.

That said, it's your car.

I agree with this, your pic in your profile looks clean. I think even black is too much.

But hey, as long as you apply it right you should be able to easily peel it off after you do the others.

Its been my experience that plastidip doesn't hold up on wheels. It seem about every 3-4 months one starts to peel and needs to be refinished.

^My first thought was how well would the plasti dip hold up on the wheels. I wouldn't think it would be ideal for rims.

 

[Nitrobasher]

At this point, it would have been cheaper to have my wheels powder coated to being with.

 

[wmrcs]

Looking at this again I am going to have to say the silver does look pretty darn good. If you need new though then all black.. or bronze..

Haha what's wrong with black with chrome lips?

Nothing...if your Delorean took you back to the early part of this century.

totally agree, the red lip is too much. leave it silver or all black.

 

[viseversa101]

Yea so ive decided to keep the red lip. N make the cap black. I will be finishing them today

 

[Nicklepage1010]

i think those would look way better in a dark bronze.
Props for taking the time to do this! i wouldnt have the patience.

The red makes the wheel look smaller. Is that what you're shooting for?
