    I would say an hour or two, make sure they bake in the sun. when you put on the lugs, they will tear inside but also be sure to watch the sides of the bolt holes, the wrench socket may scrape it causing lines, tears, etc. so go slow when replacing lugs. then either wait a day for a full cure or drive off if you would like (I personally dip while it's hot as all hell, wait about an hour or two when finished, replace, then wait a whole day).

    I Dipped my wheels 8 months ago and they have held up fine.... I have been wheeling a few times, camping, and a few road trips.

    how long have you had it on? what kind of wash was it?

    imo, I would do it after.
