    You can carbon some rims, the stock ones have too harsh of angles with the center cap the way it sticks out. ( hope that made sense ). I just used plasti dip on my rims today to make them black. It looks pretty good and really easy to use.

    Just a side note, i had a buddy spray plasti dip his TC wheels and they were very hardy. He has been driving em for about a year, including in the salt, snow and dirt of colorado winter. They still look great. Its all about good prep like any painting, wrapping, etc.

    Do you think you could plasti-dip the cladding?
