You mean plasti dip? I don't think wrap applies to wheels as they would get super hot.

I used wrap for the pin stripe on my wheels and it's held up fine.

this RED plastic bead is what i want to add to Stock Rims
any suggestions - wRAP it , pAINT it , .....
one estimate was $355 each Rim - seems like it was a Plasti-Dip ? (NOT sure of their process)
of course, that is way to much money - i would just buy New Rims for that price
I would paint. wheels see too much heat to wrap.

I would get 1-2' of 3m 1080, cut into strips, and just try it out. Definitely the cheapest and easiest option. Just don't get that thin ass pinstripping from autozone. Get actual car vinyl wrap.
