i like the color choice on the is, ive always thought of dipping my wheels. Its a nice way of changing colors around without actually painting it or powder coating it.
Kentchup, thanks! I thought it was a nice change.


tmf2004 looking good... Nice IS to
Tmf, thx!

So here's a question for the folks of the community. Does having black wheels in general provoke anger or **** off other drivers? The reason I'm asking is because since I've dipped my wheels black people tend to drive aggressively around me. Maybe it's just in my head, maybe not... Opinions?....

I'm in St.Pete. I might have to try them out. I want to change the color of my DD, so this looks like a cool option.

Yeah I came across this last week and reviewed the DIY videos and this looks so easy to do.
Just have to prep the wheels and go. My stock IS wheels will be getting a coating this summer. Then will put them on in the fall before the winter hits us again. The best part of this, is its 100% removable. Where else can you change the color of your wheels for $25-30

Nah, it's got to be a coincidence...

You definitely should give them a try. They are always backed up with jobs. I'm actually scheduling to go back to the shop in the next few weeks to add a custom black-gold dip to my hood. I'll send you a PM to chat further. thx

looks pretty good. maybe if the peeling from the silver finish could be sanded before you sprayed, it would look flawless.
