Default Magnetic Grey white rims...?

hey guys I tried searching around but I haven't seemed to come up with anything on this. I was wondering if anyone with a magnetic grey tc2 had plastidipped their wheels white and if so how it looked. I really wanna try but I don't wanna waste my time if it'll look stupid lol...

Pics would be more than welcome also haha

Eh... I'm not so sure if that will look great. Judging by pictures I've seen on google images of grey cars with white rims, it's a bit hard to look at. I'd just stick with the stock gunmetal look or save up for different rims.

I heard that Plasti-dip is easily peeled off, so maybe when you have some free time you can try it on one or two wheels and decide whether you like it or not.

My advice to you if you go with white plastidip it is a pain in the ___ to keep then white I have my stock tc2 rims red makes the car more aggressive looking IMO my tc2 is the same color you have and red and grey somehow compliment each other. Now the dip is easy to clean but if it isn't applied right All the oils and crap wheels encounter on the roads will find a way to stain it. I know this first hand. But a $7 can and 20 minutes should ease you into a decision. Lastly plastidip when applied with 3/4 coats peels just like a bandaid be sure to watch tutorials from dip your car to get a better understanding of how to Apply it.

it would look odd with white rims. i think white rims are better on white cars which they match best.

I think the white would stick out, black or like a gun metal color would look best, white would stick out a lot

Well if you do think it will look good on your car then that's what matters. I would be interested in seeing pics once you finish the work. I still think it would look better if your car was white though =P
