with plastidip its not worth taping off the tires. Obviously you guys don't know how speedy painting tape is. They look actally pretty good. go put them on your car and take some pics lol

::::raises hand:::: That's me buddy!!

I've been broke as a joke since buying my house in December so plastidipping my wheels fit my budget just nicely thank you very much! lol

Plus I'm a fan mat finishes. Actually I prefer a mat finish over gloss most times really. I know it's nothing super special, but I actually like the look.... cheap or not.

That was a big reason why I went to the plasti dip way. Being a college student and living on your own is no joke on the pockets. Plus I want the ability to take it off one day.

plasti dip is amazing for a sport bike especially when ppl wana lay them down saves a ton on body parts, and the nice part is that it is removable so if you wana change the color its simple

Thanks man, I ran into problems with other rims but plasti dip is forgiving at times which helps. Debating if i want to take the plasti dip off the konig logo in the middle

Mine are konig illusions, do your spokes curve out? Mine look flat but they stick out past the tire.
