Plasti Dipped Spare Wheels

My old wheels were curbed pretty badly. Not to mention they were chrome. I bought three cans of Plasti Dip and painted my grille before deciding to do the wheels too.
Looks much better than it did before in my opinion.
Before...


In Process...



After...




I know some people hate this, but these sit in my garage and I was bored. I think they look 100 times better now anyway.

Nice improvement. I just did the face of my wheels with plasti-dip to get rid of the machine look. It turned out better than I expected.

Thanks. These were the wheels that came with the car, so not my purchase or damage. I found them quite ugly, and a change of wheels was of course my first mod. They also screwed me out of a set of stocks... At least now I can have some half decent looking spares.
