You did the entire rim?

Nope, just the face of the rim (the part that faces the outside).

Since it's not really a surprise anymore, I'll just post the pics in here. I plasti dipped my wheels gunmetal and they came out really nice.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Looks good, but now you've gotta do something about the door handles...

Was thinking about plasti dipping them the same color as the wheels since I have some left over, but I don't really want that texture for the door handles. IMO they look ok silver since I left the center caps silver too. Might do the emblems though.

Yeah, plasti-dip on the door handles would be a bad idea. But you could paint them the same color. The door handles stick out more to their larger size. The center caps/lugs are fine since they are small and a detail item.
