Stupid question, but does the weight of the plasti-dip throw off the balance of the wheel, or did you have them re-balanced?
The balance of a Plasti-dip'd wheel isn't affected to any extent that you'd need to re-balance.
In terms of longevity - my wheels have been Plasti-dip'd for over a year (http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/35614-plastidip-wheels-you-vote.html) and they still look great. I have touched them up twice with a 30 sec re-spray (I did not use the clear coat because I wanted a flat finish). I used PD on both my street and track wheels and it holds up incredibly well even in 100F+ temps at the racetrack. Removal takes a few mins per wheel - it peels right off. Its so easy, its silly.

I imagine it would adhere, but probably would have problems due to the heat of the brakes. I dipped my wheels but am planning to go back to silver. Different strokes for different folks! I have peeled it off before on one wheel, and it seems all the material for one wheel weights less than an ounce. No balancing issues or vibrations.
