Well i lost all 4 caps on the highway and the whitewall paint has turned pink !

haha just kidding. The caps are holding on (2 screws with ears in the back) and the plastidip paint is yellowing a bit so i'll redo em soon. I'm happy with it. Gets a lot of looks.

Are you saying that the white walls are actually Plastic Dip??? If they are, how did you get the white walls "true" round? At least they appear to be......

I used vinyl paint and it cracked, then portawalls, they wouldn't sit right and came off the tire, then plasti dip wich is great. I simply used electrical tape around the area i wanted (there was a rubber edge there already so i just taped that) and then after a couple of coats i took a razor blade to trim that rubber edge and peeled off the dip wich made a perfect circle! Tada. I now can just repaint them every couple of months the same way without removing any wheels
