It's actually quite durable, and yeah most people do it without the tires on, but you can do it with the tires on! There's a long thread all about plastidip, search for it and you'll learn a lot!

I think you have to do it with tires on because it gets damage during tires installation... Could be wrong

Oops, you're right. I was thinking of taking the wheels and tires off of the truck...

my vote goes to silver. Not a fan of the black 20's at all

Keep them silver. In my opinion, the black looks unfinished. Even that red truck posted looked better with the silver wheels.

A little over a year ago I was thinking about getting my wheels powdercoated black so I had someone photoshop my truck with black wheels. I kind of liked the look but overall I like the contrast of the silver on my truck.

Well I'll do the silver first for right now since I need to put the tires on either way.

Got to get the Bilstein 5100s installed and get my Mickey Thompson 305/55/20 ATZs mounted on the wheels.

Will post pics when it's done.

Thanks
