Leave It or Peel It?

[ryankokesh]

So I "dipped" my 135's in the GunMetal color of PlastiDip. Initially I thought it looked pretty terrible with the imola. Too blue. I was gonna peel it off for sure. Now I can't really decide. I still feel like it's too blue, but maybe not as bad as I thought. Pretty sure I'm gonna peel it. Wanted to get ya'll's thoughts though!

If nothing else, it's a good example of what gunmetal looks like next to imola. Apparently it's hard to find a picture of that!

Not a fan. Doesn't match anywhere else on the car and looks out of place. I would try black chrome or high gloss black, white or bronze.

Too blue IMO. I'd go back to stock, I'm not a big fan of black wheels.

Peel dat!

Does it need to be said again?!? Lol... Peel it and go black plastidip, as Devlin posted. Looks very aggressive in person....

[ryankokesh]

Haha, sounds like we have a consensus. My winters are black, so I'm gonna leave these stock I think. Should probably get them refinished, though...

My vote is 2 hours late, but here it goes anyways: peel it and go back to stock.

[Dave1027]

+1 on stock.

Yeah yeah...you were right.... Now it's being a pita to peel.

Good call on the peelage. I've personally never been a big fan of black. Especially if you're going to drop serious coin on some fresh wheels its kind of defeats some of the purpose if you can't really see them. A gloss or powdercoat black at the very most, matte just doesn't do it for me.

Winter wheels are a different story...but
"Different strokes"

At least you tried it and figured out you didn't like it? :)

Use goo gone or purple power and soak the rim comes off easier

I'm gonna try my steamer this weekend...kinda worried about whatever I try peeling the wheel paint too! It's really hard to get it off between the really close together spokes.

Purple power didn't hurt my wheels but I didn't let it sit on there for a long time. Just enough for things to loosen up then hit it with a power washer.
