Darker wheels

[cajun87]

I just bought a 2013 outdoorsman true blue and mineral grey. Since the truck has no chrome and everything is color matched i think the light grey wheels kind of stick out too much. I like the wheels and cant afford to just buy new ones. Is there a way that i could darken my wheels like you would tint taillights. Or would i have to just have my wheels blasted and repainted?

You could use plasti-dip and plasti-dip the wheels. That would make them black. And it's really easy.

Im really not a fan of black wheels. I was thinking of just going a few shades darker.

Powder coat then

PlastiDip does come in other colors besides black. Without being without wheels or spending money on dismounting and remounting your tires for powder coating, dipping would be the way to go.

I experimented with Black Chrome painr from the local parts store on these. IMO, came out ok, but nothing like I thought black chrome should look like.

I think those look amazing, although I suppose it could look different in person.

Thanks, I may switch them just for fun to see how I like them at some point but it isn't on my top five list at the moment.

Yea can't hurt to see what they look like eventually, but I definitely understand them not being on the top of your priority list.

That gunmetal looks pretty cool. I wish they would have taken the car outside to see how it looks in the sun.

i kinda also suggest trying the gunmetal gray plasti dip. It will give you a different look and if you don't like it you can just peel it off unlike if you painted or powder coated them.

I think the guy in the video is pretty lazy as well. He should have taken the wheels off of the car.
