i would just paint them with gloss black.
i have plasti before i repainted mine gloss, looks sooo much better now. and plast dip can be a huge bitch to get off

i just sanded with like 500 then 800 then 1000, i really only sanded enough to scuff it up. then primed them with 2 coats paint then cleared.
and dont forget to clean after sanding obviously haha

well if you have ss/sc rims or ss/na rims when you sand it your never probly get that center polish back if your not worried about it go for it...but if you want them black for ever!! powder coat them...

painting wheels doesnt not work with winter snow/ice. I put at least 8+ hours into my wheels, prepping and painting, etched primer, 3-4 coats of paint 3 coats of clear. Chipped first snow storm.
Plastidip does not chip or peel unless you do it incorrect.
