Nice jeep! I am planning on plasti-dipping my rims this weekend. It will be the first step in a total black out (the ultimate goal)!

I'll give it a shot and let you know. If it doesn't work just peel off.

Thanks. Post pics. I love the blacked out look too (as if I needed to point that out).

Just make sure you mask off or wipe the area where the lugs contact the rim at each coat. Otherwise the plasti-dip will twist loose at that area when the lugs are tightened.

I was also looking into some upgraded headlights. Any suggestions? I was looking at Halo's and I like the black tint but I don't know yet. It will be awhile before I do it because I need to save the money but I like to plan ahead.
