    2. Clean and Tape them up! (don't mind the Victoria Secret catalog and you can sand and primer them if you want.)

    1. agood find on the wheels...they look like the old Ikon s65 wheels. only reason I know that is b/c I had a set on my first car. Killer find, since they have been discontinued for a while now....

    2. How dare you destroy great reading material

    3. Turned out looking good. what size tires are you going to run on them?

    Hehe thanks for the info, me and my friends couldn't figure the brand out saying if it was "ion or Kon or No1..." haha

    and don't get me wrong it was great looking at the magazine while doing the rims

    and tire sizes are 225/50r18 and 255/45r18... and i'm not sure if I am going to run them probably just throw them on for fun until i get new tires

    Thanks I can't wait to get these on and have a look!

    It's a year old thread, naturally the pics are not being hosted anymore. But I think that if you Google "plasti-dip" there'll be some tips, tricks, and DIYs.

    agreed with this post also its cheap so doesnt hurt to just try it out on dumb objects until you feel ready plus it peels right off so no problem if it doesnt turn out right
