So I have the Sunset Yellow paint, and I know how good black wheels look on a yellow car, as I have sported it before. Thing is, I think the anatracite/silver wheels look good, and I am not 100% sold on altering them. This would be a professional paint job, not a set of new wheels. I was wondering on what the consensus would be toward such a decision.

Do it with Plasti-dip at first, 40 bucks. If you don’t like it peel it off. If you do like it peel it off and have it professionally painted.
 
The OE wheels look great powder coated black. It’s all personal preference. I went black and red with my car because that is what I wanted to do. If I had a sunset yellow I’d do black as well. Our wheels are 34 lbs, so you could get something like the TSW Bathurst in a gunmetal gray and shave a solid 10-12 lbs off per wheel. I think the Bathurst would look great and I think they run about $250 per wheel.

I actually have the dip in my closet. Two brand new cans. Never had the guts to use them, as I have observed getting it off of wheels is a nightmare- regardless of how many layers.

This is actually a great idea. I did this with my previous car. Just make sure you use something like a garbage bag to cover your brakes and rotors. Check out dipyourcar.com for some good video tutorials.

Yes. Getting it off can sometimes take some time and lots of patience.

I did my wheels with PD and glossified them , I decided i didnt like the gloss and peeled it of , took 15 min per wheel ( 4coats of PD and 2 Gloss ) then re applied 4 coatd of PD , looks great after 8 months

When you peeled it off, was it difficult? Do you have any pics of what it looks like now?
