I don't know about wheels but it might be the perfect fix for the "soft finish" interior finish problems on most modern cars. It looks great when the car is new but the finish peels off with wear to show the shiny material underneath and then it looks like crap for the rest of the life of the car. My range rover has it on the steering wheel and the window buttons on the doors. It would be nice to make it look new again.

PlastiDip will rub off even more easily than the original finish.

Just get the front clip repainted to match the rest. OR even better, paint it a metallic and have the color flow along the doors back to the air vents. 2 TONE.
