Rim Wrap

[Calvin West]

Hi guys, just got a E60 recently and decided to change my rims to black. However its pretty costly so sourcing for other alternatives. Do any workshops in sg offer wrapping of rims in black(Plasti dip)? Instead of powder coating i would prefer something reversible and cheaper also. Any advise from the bros here???

Re: Rim Wrap

some rim shops help spray paint your current rims to black...or get a used set of rims and get it spray painted to the colors you want...more cost effective right?

Powder coat is expensive tho..I think abt $1k .spray is the most cost effective for sure

Re: Rim Wrap

Do these coats or sprays last long? Do they scratch and show the underlying rim colour easily?

Re: Rim Wrap

Respray rim 17" about $170+-, plastidip won't last long as it could peel off after heat, stone chip and bad weather.

Too bad insurance premium way too high for STI/Evo. Else i would have gladly taken one.

Re: Rim Wrap

Plastidip doesn't peel under heat. In fact it's elastic.

As for those that's worried about unevenness, plastidip is very "forgiving" to over spray unless its over till it streaks.
