Default Plasti Dipped my Vette wheels

Plasti Dipped my Chrome stock NB sized ZR1s. Pretty easy though I had to do it on the car as my jack was not low profile enough. Wanted to see if I want to go with Black wheels when I get new tires. Anyways onto the pics:

LOVE it. I just went through the same process with the rims on mt T/A, and since I liked it with the plasti-dip, I decided to make it permanent and had them powdercoated

any thoughts on doing the halo/roof black. that looks great, especialy when paired with black rims...

The black definitely looks better with the yellow wheel tape to break up the black.
