New to the forum! Black Plasti Dipped wheels!!
Just wanted to post a photo of my wife's 2009 E70 X5. Traded in her old 2002 X5 for this one as her old one was starting to become a money pit. Just Plasti dipped her OEM rims in black. I think it looks alot better than silver, especially on a white car!

Nope, in fact it hides most of the normal brake dust that would usually drive the average OCD person crazy... I use this stuff called BDP (Brake Dust Professional). Its a touch less brake dust remover that you can purchase at the DipYourCar.com website. It works great for Plastidipped wheels!

I just cleaned and washed the rim extremely good. They do sell a Pre dip spray on the website DipYourCar.com but I didn't bother. As long as you get all the brake dust off or at least most of it the PlastiDip sprays on extremely well. I used 4 coats per rim.

Check out my Garage, I dipped my rims on my 135i in Anthracite grey with a Glossifier coat. They came out awesome!

Woohoo!! I'm a huge fan of plastidip... Thanks to dipyourcar.com! I put it on almost everything at this point. LOL!
Anyhow, I purchased an anthracite wheel kit a few months back for application on the X, just haven't been brave enough to actually put it on. I currently have the same style wheels, but this is actually the first time I've seen them dipped! So, thanks for posting! Now I'm not so afraid, they look great! |

I only applied two coats of Glossifier and about 4 coats of the Anthracite plasti dip! Thanks for the comments! They still look amazing 4 months later.

Plasti dip sucks. I have used it alot in the past and always is more of a headache then its worth after some time to maintain if you live in a climate that has all 4 four seasons.

I'd have to agree with you but I live in Arizona and it works well for me!
