Dip-coated the rims! Thoughts?

Used the Bright Aluminum wheel kit from dipyourcar.com. Closest I could find to the original without getting too creative... or shelling bucks out for those remans. Sanded them down, ground and glazed the curb rash and popped out the emblems. Repainted the bumpers too, as they were crumbling apart the day I bought it. Been a project.

They look great to me. Is this the stuff you can peel off if you want to or something different?

Yah. Its supposed to be durable 3-5yrs... unless you hit a curb lol. Its about 8 coats black undercoat, and 5 coats of the metalizer. It can be peeled off anytime. Went on pretty easy. No runs or sags. Cost $120 for everything you need.

While I am not a fan of the Reatta wheel, you did a great job making them look great.
