My son did it to our Boxster S (without my approval). Looks like **************** in my opinion but at least I know I can take it off anytime I want it.

Resuming: much cheaper, will look pretty much identical to having it powder coated, takes off easily and allows you to change it at anytime. Win-Win situation IMHO.

hmm, not a bad idea. so you don't have to sand the surface first to get the coating to adhere?
I may try it on my old '98 pathfinder first

Forgiven. And I agree- black wheels look chunky.

Has anyone tried to " Chrome Shadow "( ala 2001 BMW M5 ) their wheels with any success? By far my favorite finish of any wheel . As far as my opinion on your choices, I prefer the stock look. Not crazy about black
