gloss back vinyl will show scratches very easily , I would think even more so on wheels , maybe flat or even a carbon vinyl would be better , plasti dip with a glossifier would be easier and cheaper ...............my $.02 good luck , pls post results if you test it out

the thing so far is wrapping is way more durable than plasti dip, the same material they wrap the full car in will be researching pricing ths week

I've wrapped several body parts on previous cars and even used gloss black vinyl to delete the rear reflectors on my current GT , agree its durable but when damaged its needs to be replaced , plasti dip is easy to touch up , have you considered having your wheels powder coated instead , I'm tempted to do this to knock back the silver portion of the wheels . I dont want really dark , but maybe a gun metal dark gray ..................

The stinger wheels have a lot of crisp corners and complex shapes. Between that and the heat from the brakes, water, dirt, etc, I wouldn't expect the wrap to last longer than a year before it starts to peel..

I see there are a few how to vids on youtube , why not try doing it yourself , wrapping isnt too difficult with patience ( and lots of xtra vinyl ) you may want to consider those rim guards as well .

I just noticed but the spoke style Looks kinda simular to the outside spokes of the 19". So it can give you an idea how it could look like

So far doesn't look good the first place I called said $150-$300 per wheel 2nd place ballpark materials about 40bper and labor $75 per hr but they said they would give me a set price waiting to hear back,

I'm not sure those are stock stinger wheels that is not the same design as any if the 4 sal posted in the other thread. Maybe these wheels are black by default?
