Default Bedlined Dick Cepek DC-2 Wheels

I bought my wheels new a little over a year ago and the paint/clear coat recently started bubbling and peeling like crazy. Seeing other people bed-line there wheels and plasti dip them I wondered about doing this with these wheels. A few of them were looking rough so I decided the bed-liner would be a good solution to covering that up. I wasn't able to find any pics of anyone who had already done this with these wheels anywhere online so I wanted to share. I am more than happy with how they turned out. Here are some pics of the process and finished product. I removed the center caps and put them back one once everything was dried.

Looks nice, i've been considering doing this as well, since my wheels are pretty scuffed up. are there any balancing issues?

Fishtale - the River Raider rings look like a great addition! I have not had any issues at all with balancing. Drove for about an hour today running errands and it drives just like it did before. I used the Rust-Oleum spray on bed liner from Home Depot. it was around $8 a can and I used 4. You can get away with less cans but I wanted to rally get it on there good. Thanks for all of the positive feedback. I was a little nervous going into it but just take your time and it will look great.
