I did all mine with the wheels on. I stuffed paper towels behind the wheels to cover the rotors and did 4 coats, waiting about 20min between coats. 4 months and still holding strong. I had them balanced and rotated (removing the outer balance weights and replacing them with interior weights)... cleaned the spot where the weights were are sprayed another quick two coats to cover the exposed wheel. It's been offroaded a few times and they clean up pretty well with a pressure washer and good soap.
I love the black wheels over stock.
Do it.

It's starting to cool off here so I'd better get a move on unless I want to wait 'til spring.

I've noticed that Plasti dip does not like to be sprayed when its cold. I recently redid my rocker panels with the heat on I'm my garage. The garage was nice and toasty, but the can of Plasti dip was still very cold. The stuff came out of the can, chunky. I brought the can in the house for an hour and then it sprayed nicely.
Does anyone have a good feeling for the threshold where it's too cold for clean application?
