New Winter Look

[jolinc01]

I finally had a chance to throw the stock 5 spokes back on today, what a difference in the ride too. I really wish I had the money for those spacers though. Anyways, pics are below.

Suprise they're flat black now. Plasti dip'd them, that stuff is awesome. I really like how it turned out, since I'm not usually a black on silver fan. The flat does it for me.

looks good, getting my winter set put on next week. More and more people on here seem to be painting their stock wheels black. Did you use plastidip?

*edit* nvm lol didn't read the bottom, too busy looking at the sexy car

 

[jolinc01]

Sure did and it actually does peel off. I tried before painting them

 

[jdmans101]

I'm temped to do the same thing, but not sure if I will like the black on black look. My car being black might make the wheels look smaller and I don't want that.

Dam Jo that looks good man. I would do that to my stockers but I don't plan on driving the LS at all during the winter months except maybe to the store and back to keep the fluids flowing.

Very nice. How many cans did you use?

Diggin it for sure. Though I'm a little biased

Thanks Pete, although mine peels off if I want to go back to the stock look, unlike some people's wheels....

Looks sick. Light colored LSes can pull off this look well.

 

[jolinc01]

Thanks drizz. Maybe one day I'll have the $$ to get it where I want & it deserves to be.

So this plastidip stuff really works huh? I have 19" chrome Jag wheels and would rather not ruin them but I've always wondered what they would look like in black...

Looking good and protected, very nice.

The only thing that sucks is that Plasti Dip isn't water resistant and water could end up between the wheel and Plasti Dip.

 

[myfirstlincoln]

Not to threadjack but maybe the OP can give some more insight but if the plastidip can be peeled off and it's not water resistant, does it come off easily in rain or poor weather or does it require much more effort to peel it off? How is it peeled off? Can/will it damage the finish on the wheel?

 

[jolinc01]

The stuff holds up to gravel roads, pressure washing, and wet nasty weather. You have to start peeling an edge to get it off. It also doesn't leave a residue that will ruin the finish.

Nice, looks good. Ill be going with the same look as well this winter, just got mine done.

What did you paint yours with Tony?
