Default Wrapped wheel

Saw a video on FB where someone did a wrap on a wheel. Can't find the video to share, but wondering if anyone else has seen this and has pictures. Without being mounted to the car it's difficult to say what it looks like, but sitting on the table it looked pretty sharp.

If I have one complaint it’s the thinness of the steering wheel. I feel like it’s for a baby’s hands lol. I love how thick my 135is steering wheel is, so it’s a bit of a disappointment grabbing the C7 wheel. A wrap could cure that but I needs to look right.

Lol, I wasn't talking about the steering wheel. The 4 wheels that sit under the car!

Can't be worse than PlastiDip which a lot of people are happy with.

I've seen hydro dipped wheels. Not sure of how durable that would be despite the clear coating but you can get some wild, complex patterns with that method.
