Good to hear, thanks.

Painted black GT rims looked great on my DHG Bullitt! I used them for the track only and the paint chipped a bit, but otherwise good.

Those do look good. I've got the Bullitt wheels but I've never seen them completely black including the lip, I think it will look ok.

I'm just not sure how well the plastidip will hold up. I can try it I guess.

thas wat i thought as well too.. but with further research i found out its really hard to chip and dosn't fade at all... it will hold up to the wheel until you take it off.

I just did some digging on it as well and I'm going to give it a try. It's a pretty easy process so what the heck. I found a few good tips like putting the lug nuts in the lug holes before painting them so that if you ever remove the wheels the paint won't tear.
