My opinion is to leave them as is. I think they'll look cheap plasti-dipped.

I agree. They now make a high gloss plastidip called "top coat" that makes plastidip look like a factory paint job.

I say leave them as is.
But it's not like it's permanent, plasti dip them and if you don't like it peel it off

I'd leave them silver. I'm not a fan of black wheels on mystic teal cars.

Don't do it, leave your car looking classy and expensive, not god awful and cheap like mine. That damn plasti dip ruins everything, haha.
