    thanks for the feedback guys... its definitely something different and overall i like it... at least i like it better than the konigs I had..

    I plan to sell the Konigs and get the stock wheels professionally done at least until i find a set of 19s that I love... however, i think i remember hearing that powder coating wasnt great for wheels and that a professional paint would love better and/or hold up better.. i cant remember the specifics though.. maybe something to do with the finishing?

    yeah they're already starting to show dirt and the slight texture from the plasti dip isnt helping lol gonna power wash them and see how the paint holds up

    i had already purchased the paint thinner, sand paper, wheel paint and everything to do them full "permanent" white when my friend suggestion plasti dip.. he had seen it done on some Honda and Nissan forums so I looked it up and it seemed pretty solid so i went for it... up close you can tell its got a weird texture to it but from a couple feet away they look good so no complaints on my part

    I like these wheels in white, turned out nice. Sure it's a job keeping them clean but it's a good color combo.

    I would definitely paint the calipers, maybe black, or a really bold color that will make them pop behind the white wheel.

    i was thinking orange to go with the Ralliart logo but still avoid the red that everyone else has
