Default wheels

What do you think how our stock wheels would look in Black?
I am thinking of plasti dipping my wheels and see how it turns out.

Anyone done this?

i'm not aware of anyone plasti dipping oem wheels. i can't say whether our oem wheels look good in black or not, it will depend on how the black color is applied. imho, i wouldn't go this route as plastidip *might* make the wheels cheap looking.

I think it will depend on the color of the car. Someone has powder coated there rims but never plasti-dipped them . When you do them your should post some pics and a DIY.

Did you do it? By the way, is that process reversible? Just in case you don't like it! And what year GSh do you have? The wheels changed styles in '09 maybe? Either way, I am not sure I would like it. I think they would look good in all chrome. But that is because I like the look of chrome on a black car.

i have plastidipped 3 sets of wheels. I think it looks great and the best part is it peels off if you dont like it. As soon as it is warm enough I plan on dipping my oem wheels. Just bought the car last week so must wait a bit before I can buy new wheels and tires.
