Wheels look great bud. Just an FYI, I found that when mine were plastidipped, a good coating of tire foam brought them back to life when they start looking dull. I would literally coat the entire wheel and tire, let it sit for about ten minutes, and then take a rag to them (lightly) to take off the excess.

How does the plasti hold up to a balance and rotate?

For rotating, you will be ok as long as the guy doing them isnt too rough on it.
Balancing will require it to go on a machine and the wheel needs to be clamped down, so where the clamp is, that is where the PD might rub off

Obviously. Has anyone had personal experience with this. I worked at an automotive shop and a discount tire shop in the past so I know how a computer balancing machine works, just never came across the PD then as the product was not out yet. I'm assuming.
