I think DJ doesn't care for people plasti dipping the body of the car. Then again, he may just hate it all together.

I think they look great. Plasti dip is fine for people who are either covering up blemishes and/or aren't willing to spend hundreds on powder coating wheels.

Whats wrong with plasti dip?
i did my rear diffuser and oem grill with it.
Getting the rear painted at the shop tues though.
I think plasti dip is great for people on a budget or for people not ready to pull the trigger on real paint.
lol or just if your cheap :slap:

That will make the difference. I don't like them at stock height - the wheel gap just makes them look a little silly. Get some springs or coils if you're serious about playing with your car's look, and then post the pictures.

Original silver looks better to me. Black contrasts too much with the bright red color of your car. Looks so good in silver!

I think the silver looks fine and the black looks fine, but personally I think to start with something small like plastidipping the wheels, and then lowering the car, itll make a big impact on how the car is seen / admired...

Inspired me to go get PlastiDip but the local Autozone let me down. I would have gone to Home Depot, but that's across the river and 10 miles away! So instead I went to a car cruise 57 miles away.

Seriously, I love those rims but I don't have that kinda money for them :(, I would love to get another sponsor. Currently sponsored by Lopez Fab & Race Carz from Miami Florida, they specialize in tuning / race applications. Anyone know where I can get the Konig rims cheaper than 160 a rim? :mike
