no pic attached. I have seen plastidip wheels before and I personally do not like the look of it.

Cant see any pic. That said. If i could i would say it looks like a $35,000 car with rims that were painted with a $6 can of spray on plastic.

If you like it. That is all that matters.

I love black rims and I think it will look better if you have some contrast like the other guys said red calipers would just make it pop

I cant tell are the stripes red or orange? Either way red or orange calipers would look great and you can get high temp brembo or camaro stickers for painted calipers for pretty cheap too.

Stripes are orange to match my interior. You guys are spot on about the calipers. That will be the next little weekend project I attempt. Thanks for the input.

Wasn't sure when I did it if the car would look to busy or not with three different colors on it.

looks great - what I have found is over time they will look a little dull, but nothing that a good cleaning and some tire foam won't clear up.

If they start to fade I'll just put on another coat. It wasn't to difficult to do anyway.
