Well I'm still going to add the blue to it I think but here's the new look for now. I love it...

Looks slick

I painted the inside, back part of the wheel black so it blacked out the whole thing and you can't see the silver behind the spokes.. Made a huge difference.. you could paint that part blue and get a highlight color

i did the same thing, i think it looks better that way.

Well I was thinking of making that part blue or if I decide to leave out the blue. I kind of like the silver behind it with the silver bowtie and camaro emblem

But wouldn't I need to take the wheels off to really get in there?

I like both the 2 tone look and your full dip job but if you went 2 tone, I'd go the other way like another poster and do the inside black leaving the outside normal.

To do what they suggest you will have to take the wheels off, there is no other way to dip that part..

Thanks, recommendations for a good De-greaser? And did you guys just buy black lugs, or dip them too?

If you're talking about to clean he wheels before paintIng, I just used brake cleaner

What I would do, especially at home with plasti dip, is black the whole wheel out and then do a colored pinstripe around it..

Either way I couldnt live with plastidip on my wheels cause they get very dirty and ashy looking, some people might be able to keep it clean in a better climate than I can but they looked horrible on my other ride.
