Do stock rims look good dipped?

louiey370z · 03-12-2015, 02:42 AM

I plan on dipping my rims a graphite metallizer as soon as I get it shipped. Question is, will it look good on stock rims? I have a feeling it won't and I'm scared I'll be wasting 87$ on paint on shitty rims ImageUploadedByTapatalk1426146114.583872.jpg

I did all 4 of my 19" rays with 3 cans of plastidip so that cost me like $22... I am getting ready to dip them bronze using a kit from Dipyourcar.com and that is only $49 +$12 shipping. I think it looks great and if you dont like it you can always peel it off or just change the color.

Joker the ones your posted is 2012< sport package, the pic branky posted is 2013+ sports package....

atleast for the canadian release. I have a 2012 with the old style rims.... still nice though!

speedfreek · 03-12-2015, 09:23 AM

2009-2012 have the same sport wheels. The change happened in 2013. So 2013+ have the redesigned sport wheel.

Many have dipped both the sport wheels and base wheels. It looks about as good as plastidip can look.

Yeah I did lol. I'm on tapatalk so I attached it. Anyway, I'm hoping graphite metallizer will look nice on my stock rims. I paid 87$ total including shipping for the dip lol
