Hey guys,
I have 3 spray cans of black Plasti-Dip which is enough to coat a full set of wheels.
If you've never heard of Plasti-Dip this stuff is great for use as a wheel coating and when you're sick of it, you simply peel it off much like a vinyl sticker.
Here's a video of how to Plasti-Dip your wheels:

Some guys will apply it straight up which leaves a matte black finish, some will apply a clearcoat over it to give it a glossy finish and some even use it the same way you would use a primer if you were painting your wheels, so Plasti-Dip, Paint and then Clear.
The key is that it's removable, so if you don't like it.. take it off.
A great way to try on a colour without the commitment.
Another use I've heard people use it for is as a protection of stock wheels during the winter from snow and salt.
More details, simply google up "Plasti-Dip Wheel"
It also does have many other uses (like insulation for wires, or circuit boards).
Anyhow, I paid $16.99/can at Home Hardware, however I'm willing to get rid of these cans, unused and brand new for $30 for all 3.
I've gotten my hands on some project rims and will be actually refinishing them instead of Plasti-Dipping my stockers.
Give me a shout if you're interested.
