I've plasti-dipped the face of my chrome wheels & it held up for a few months before i just peeled it off for a different look. Never really collected dust or really showed any dirt. Washed em like normal too & all was well. As most others I'm sure, I was really impressed wiht that stuff... My emblems have been plasti-dipped for almost a year & still going strong.

I Plasti-Dipped my stock 18s but eventually peeled it off and did something else. It looked great at first but after two months or so, it started to look faded and got dirty really easily. So I peeled it off, sprayed two coats of Plasti-Dip, two coats of Duplicolor Satin Black Wheel Coating, and two coats of Duplicolor Clear Wheel Coating. The result was way better than Plasti-Dip alone and it costs under $20 to do all four wheels. Yes, it's removable too!

I've driven it in rain storms and everything so far except for snow. I wouldn't expect it to hold up through a Chicago winter but it might.
If you decide to do it, it's removable if you don't like it. You'll need at least two cans of Plasti-Dip, 1 or maybe 2 cans of wheel paint, and one can of clear.
