alright if this came out great i wasnt gonna show or tell anyone until wiregrass, but it looks good, but doesnt work for me. yes i tried it, plastidip, on chrome wheels does not stick good enough to do all four the bad part is now that im showing you all you all now know i painted my calipers red....as if you didnt know that was coming, so, ill finish my calipers prolly tomorrow night and return the other cans of plastidip cause i just cant waste em for it to come off anyway....now this just goes to show, i need all black wheels like last year....

if you seen it up close you be like, huh whats the texture and oh a repair spot....it peels real easy off the chrome, if they were alloy maybe it would stick better...

With a better finish than the plasti dip can give the wheels would look good black. Just go all in and either paint or pc them.

I duplicolor'd (Black Chrome) the 17" Durango wheels in preparation to mount them and unfortunately I didn't like them. Wish I had DP'd them as I'll have to blast them to get the damn paint off.

not saying u dont know how to paint. just saying that something wasnt done right. either there is still some kind of wheel cleaner on it or something. pd sticks to chrome no problem...

Looks killer jay. Are you not in love with those wheels? I ask because when you talk about Powder coating those wheels you mention buying new ones already black. I would have them coated myself, shits gonna look awesome whatever you do though.

I think they look sexy as they sit now, but if its not holding up then you dont want that

Whatever you decide to do, black wheels will help pull the whole look of your truck together. The chrome wheels are the only thing that seems to be keeping the exterior of your truck from looking complete.

I don't wanna powder these, I want a wide spoke wheel black 22", the dip just wasn't gonna hold up although they do look good black I'm gonna need new rubber real soon so why not buy a package deal, o want something not so busy too....

While I know Blackened will be sick with black wheels...there is just something about that design wheel that doesnt look right black...it looks "too busy" if ya catch my drift.
