wrapping wheels?

hey everyone, ive been thinking to paint my wheels black and leave the aluminum lip. but am not sure how it will turn out. did anyone try to wrap their wheels with vinyl? ive seen many youtube videos and it looks okay and not that hard to do. I am aware of plasti dip but we dont have them here in middle east, I once found them and each can would cost around 30$...my shipping company wont even ship chemicals so yeah. ideas are appreciated

thanks

I am no expert.....but those look like a tough job to wrap. Lots of curves and lines and being a split spoke. Even spray paint would be easier.

I've wrapped a few things so my experience is limited, but those look like an absolute PITA to try and wrap.
