Thinking Of Plasticoating My Rims

I got factory OEM rims on my sapphire black 335i

I am thinking of plasticoating all the rims black for the hell of it

I seen a few pics and it looks good.

.... can I do this without taking my tires off?

seeing as the car doesnt come with tire jack or tire iron

You don't have a jack around?

I'm sure you CAN do it if you mask it off properly but I don't think it's going to look good. I know you're name is "ricerider", but keep it clean.

or just leave them silver.

and if you plan to mod your car at all.. i would recommend a nice low profile garage jack with stands.

Here is a How-To without removing the wheels. Pretty easy just did my OEM wheels that will not be used during winter up here !

As an avid shooter and rifle builder have you ever found a NON-conservative gun forum?

Would be nice if we could separate the firearms from the politics...


Anyway, screw plasticoat. Go with ceracoat, or duracoat. Works for the firearm crowd.
