I have the same set up on Blizzak WS70's for my Winter set up. May consider Plasti dipping them as well... Plasti dipped my kidney grills and 528i badge too...

One could definitely get carried away with plasti dip - roundell, 545i, grill...iPad back. I'm not going to do any of that.

looks good. my wheels have been plastidiped for about 3 months now and they have lasted much better than expected. still looks like day 1 and i hit it with the pressure washer once a week when i wash. holds on incredibly well.

Sorry to hijack the tread slightly but with PlastiDip spray whats the lasting effect on the kidneys like?

Im very tempted as I have to take the bumber off soon to replace a PDC and was thinking of PlastiDip for the grill but dont know how long it will last and dont want to end up with a flakey/peeling grill after 6-12 months.....does anyone have any experience of its long term endurance?

Cheers
