not at all, not point in ruining the original finish

only time i'd consider painting a wheel a different color from factory is if i have an extra set and/or one is badly damaged

That's the beauty of plastidip - it peels right off - no finish ruining involved -- apparently...

correct, it peels right off without any residue or damage to whatever you sprayed

remember being a kid and putting glue on the palm of your hand and then peeling it off? that's how it peels

Very true, the all black look is old now. The red wheels will look dope if the tone matched the rear lights. Red and black, beautiful!
