I am going to plasti-dip them black, If I don't like it after awhile I can always remove the plasti-dip and return them to their original chrome, Thanks for all the replies and suggestions guys. No harm done in expressing your honest opinions, I really appreciate it, CorvetteBob...

Good luck with your project !!!!!! how did you like all this Drama ?????? I think you have a good plan, your own labor is much cheaper than a set of wheels !!!!

I'm 54 and am not really a fan of all chrome or all black wheels...but for your car, I'm leaning towards the black without the yellow lettering.

I prefer black wheels with some kind of contrasting rim, lugs and center cap. Otherwise they tend to get "lost" in the wheel well IMHO.

I'm way over 50 and I like the black, but then you should also do the black out kit on the rear and daytime front lights. That would look cool.

p.s...I just ordered black rims and already did the blackout kit, and I painted my screens black too, but I wanted a change...it can always go back! But no Jake stickers...lol

I like the chrome with the yellow - but on my Pewter I have black chrome and they look pretty sweet..

Not sure what age has to do with it, but I'm 68, and when I was shopping for a car I didn't look at anything that didn't have black wheels.

Not So Fast

First off how did you do the photo changing ???
Second be sure to watch DYC videos on dipping your wheels, great advice on updated methods.
One big hint I just found that works great is heat your Plastidip in a pail of warm water before using, much smoother finish !!!
I just did the black out thing on any chrome I had but on the fence about doing the wheels

I will let all guess which I favor

Chrome is like a thing of the 90's... this is the new age...

its good for old and young!

I've always liked the polished OEM wheels, until I just installed zinc plated rotors. Now it looks like too much silver. So I'm thinking of getting my gumby's powder coated black.

Er...Black don't crack.

.....and black is a thing of the 60s. Pull off your hubcaps and paint your wheels black to be part of the in crowd. Nothing new age about black.
