Looks great man.....I'm hoping PD doesn't catch on to what we are doing, they will raise the price...

I used black chrome on my wheels, turned out okay but I think they are gonna get the plasti-dip treatment now

I thought about getting black chrome initially but i read on other forum that black chrome turns green and looks bad. I like plastdip flat black look with chrome in center and spokes. it gives machined black wheel look

Just noticed that, did you tape off the spokes then hit the PD?

I've had the black chrome on for 5 months or so....it's still holding up but I like the way the PD looks a lot more.....I live in the beach and the salt is killing my wheels.

Makes your wheels look alot better. I have the c6z06 wheels and completely did mine in plastidip then added a red pinstripe around the lip.

IMO, the car looks good with either the chrome or blacked out wheels. Nice job applying the Plasti-Dip -

Those spokes and center caps can be removed from wheels. So i took them out and dipped the wheels and put spokes back on. Plastidip catches lot of road dirt easily so be ready to clean it often.
