Tried it out one day for my rear valance, didn't go so well. So I decided to try it out on two wheels. I wanted to have a sinister side of my car. About a week ago I redid my calipers blue and polished the "cobra" on it. The black side really shows the blue calipers.

I like the black up close but it looks cheap from a distance. You can't tell that they are BBS's.

is that viper twin turboed?
No it's not. 600 n/a hp w00t w00t. I have a small vid of my dad whooping me without even trying.

I think they looked way better silver but the black dont look too bad.

Looks cool...but RK's are way too sick to paint matte black.

I think I liked the silver side better too.
And how about some more pics of the viper

I actually think I like the wheels better in silver, and definitely feelin the Viper.

Looks like it is unanimous, silver looks too good to cover up. I'm going to try white next time.

Btw- for those of you who don't know what plasti dip is, you can paint any surface and if you don't like it, peel it right off.

Better in silver. If you wanna refinish those pimpy ass wheels, find a local coater that can duplicate BBS's plasma finish.
You will then be THE MAN.

What is the over obsession with people and the plasti dip? Im sorry but it doesnt work, especially on wheels. There is a time and place for every product but knowing when and where to use them is just as imortant as knowing how. If you want black wheels have them either powder coated, painted or chromed.

I think plasti dipping them is just an easy way to tell if you like the wheels black without the commitment.

Simply the fact that you can take it off if you don't like it. So why not try it?

Lol relax man.... it will be ok.

Plasti dip actually works really well...on anything, and you can peel it off if you dont like it.

My buddy had his wheels plasti dipped and it stayed on them untill he wanted to peel it off.


The RKS are way too nice to plasti dip tho. lol
