Flat surfaces can be wrapped...

I still would not advise it and the wrap that the kids did on the honda rim would not last. You could almost wrap a ball with a sheet of vinyl and enough heat. It is easy to heat the vinyl and have it stretch to fit the rim but this stretches out the adhesive which weakens the adhesive. If they used a bunch of primer they might be okay for a while but usually within a few hours to days the memory effect of the vinyl will cause it to try and shrink back to it's original size and cause it to peel and lift in the concave areas especially. Wrapping something like those boxster rims in one piece would be more trouble than it is worth especially with plastidip being so easy...the lug areas would probably never hold well either as the recess is too deep.
