I highly doubt the Plast-Dip would survive a tire change. The tire mounting machine would definitely rip off the material on the edge of the wheel. In fact I would recommend removing the Dip from the wheels before taking them to the shop to mount the new tires. I thought about removing and re-applying the M logo, but decided that I didn't want to risk applying it onto the Plasti-Dip. If the Plasti-Dip ripped and came off, the M logo would go with it. By the way - your Dipped window trim looks phenomenal! Great job - the finish looks very smooth and uniform.

Do you have any more pictures like one directly from the side? I have a VO too and I cant decide if I should pick up the M3 GTS wheels for it (I dont want to paint the stocks). Are you considering lowering it?

If you want to see what black competition wheels would look like on your VO, just look at Artemis' reply to one of your other threads about black wheels on VO: Quote:
I do want to lower my car, but don't feel like shelling out close to $3K for triple-adjustable race coilovers that I will never tinker with anyways. Also, I'm on the fence regarding aftermarket springs because I'm still unsure whether they would cause premature wear on the stock shocks/dampers.
