To Dip or Not To Dip...?

EJ_3 · 07-22-2012, 07:30 PM

That is the question. I've been debating on dipping my wheels for the last three weeks and now I'm ready. These wheels are a pain to clean and brake dust is KILLING ME! So... on TiAg, would you recommend Gun Metal Grey or Matte Black???

on my tiag e90 I had matte black wheels and it looked phenomenal and got many compliments. now i have hyper silver wheels and i think it looks a lot cleaner.
up to you

Your wheels look great, don't cover them with plastidip. Have you tried wheel wax to help out?

Tried some wheel wax that was on display at my dealership. Wasn't pleased. The dip will be a tempory solution until I upgrade my brakes to ceramic.
