Hello everyone! I just wanted to say that if any of you are thinking about plasti dipping your wheels, it looks GREAT! I just finished mine up today and I hope to have some pictures up soon! People say that black wheels should only be on black cars, I beg to differ! My car is Galaxy Silver and it looks fantastic

I don't think black cars should have black wheels. Cars need some contrast, I've never seen a black vehicle with black wheels I've ever truly liked.

The awesome thing is that you can peel off the plasti-dip in no time at all if you get tired of it
Lets see some pics of this murdered out look!

Might look ok, I don't like all black wheels as a personal rule, but it might not look bad.

They don't look bad on the Silver! I generally like chrome rims on cars, but the black bent 5's is certainly a unique look. I certainly like unique!

Not bad. At least with plasti-dip if you don't like it it's not hard to remove.
Tires are a little low. What size are they? They look a little small...

Not sure why the gap looks so large between the fender and tire...

I kinda like it. I probably would've left the outer edge of the rim chrome to break it up a bit, but it doesn't look bad!

I think your right rear is a bit low.

I figured they were, some brands seem to leave more of a gap than others, idk.
Also, your lugnuts are ugly. Chromies are like a buck apiece, lol.

Perfect for you, they're black!
