Scirocco Central

I've plasti dipped interior bits before and it wouldn't last 5 mins on a wheel.

I'd say at least use 2-3 coats of lacquer on it as well if you do, but you might as well just use paint.

Mine has been on for 2 years without problems, mate? I had mine professionally done though.

Maybe I just got cheap stuff! Scratched it with my nail taking out the head unit.
That was with lacquer as well

No , you're not alone dude - one of my pet hates too I'm afraid. Like you say,the wheel & tyre blur all in to one and you lose all definition of that contrast between wheel and tyre. 20" alloys may as well be 16's because you cant see the profile. Even if you have a contrasting pin stripe on the rim to break up the black a bit - it looks so much better (to me) , but no - 'all black' alloys are a definite turn off for me

You guys crack me up

Maybe I should start crying at this point because my wheels are stripped ready for gloss black powder coating at the moment. Hot sprayed nylon powder coating to give a really smooth finish and then sprayed with acrylic lacquer afterwards.

Seriously a set of 20's with thin enough spokes will show off a big brake conversion really well.

I've gone for gloss black to match the gloss black R trim including mirrors. I would consider silk on with different trim.

You can see my rubbish tiny standard discs really easy still.
