vinyl wrap
Has anyone ever tried to vinyl wrap wheels? Just looking for a poor man's alternative to a different look. Thanks!

What color?
Plasti-dip comes in many colors. Much better option than wrapping them.

I wrapped mine with 3M carbon fiber. Haven't installed back on the car yet.

That CF wrap looks pretty good on the wheels. Hope it holds up very well for you.

Looks good. Might try that on my deep dish thin spokes.

That really looks good. How hard was it to wrap? Seems like it would be a bear.

Look into Hydrographics in your area (video below). I was going to wrap my side skirts and front splitter. It was cheaper for me to hydro dip, then 3M wrap. Just my .02 cents.
