Do stock rims look good dipped?

I plan on dipping my rims a graphite metallizer as soon as I get it shipped. Question is, will it look good on stock rims? I have a feeling it

Try this for google searching... Site:the370z.com your search keywords here
That will return results from this website. This was the first result that popped up and looks like there is pics of wheels dipped.
This Plasti Dip product is Awesome!

I did all 4 of my 19" rays with 3 cans of plastidip so that cost me like $22... I am getting ready to dip them bronze using a kit from Dipyourcar.com and that is only $49 +$12 shipping. I think it looks great and if you dont like it you can always peel it off or just change the color.

2009-2012 have the same sport wheels. The change happened in 2013. So 2013+ have the redesigned sport wheel.

Many have dipped both the sport wheels and base wheels. It looks about as good as plastidip can look.

Yeah I did lol. I'm on tapatalk so I attached it. Anyway, I'm hoping graphite metallizer will look nice on my stock rims. I paid 87$ total including shipping for the dip lol
