I’m a young highschool student so my budget is a little tight. I have silver wheels right now and want to black them out. Would it be better to paint them or buy used ones?

Man that's really attractive paint /wheel protection if you think about it.And another vote for plastidip. I just finished stripping it off a set of wheels and was glad to have the still-pristine factory finish underneath. That doesn't happen with paint.

How good is the durability of plasti dip?

This is what I bought for my 06. I think that rim style is the ideal match for a real CJ/Wrangler.
It works great if you never go offroad or use a car wash with high pressure hose. It starts to peel immediately. It's really cheap though. $40 for black wheels is an insane amount of money, not to have to touch up your Plasti-Dip every time a stone or bug hits one.How durable is it?

In almost every parking lot these days you see a vehicle or two with black spraypainted or maybe plastidipped wheels and they are all chipped up with shiny specs showing through.
If I was tight on money I would rather leave my wheels the way they are. You mentioned buying used ones - that would be better than painting and you could sell your current wheels. As soon as you you paint them, their value severely decreases because nobody wants to spend much money on used wheels that the previous owner spray painted.

Nice .
I like Plastidip but decided to buy inexpensive black steel wheels because I didn't like the look of Jeep Ravine wheels painted black. Just my preference.I’m a young highschool student so my budget is a little tight. I have silver wheels right now and want to black them out. Would it be better to paint them or buy used ones?
