    I was gonna say!
    Maybe it's also about seeing how you like it, before you go all in.

    BTW, I love those gray, graphite, gunmetal, whatever they are called wheels! I can't digest the all black look.

    If you don’t clean the black wheels, it will be covered with brake dust and will look like gunmetal too :D

    Do it. I put the vinyl decals on my wife’s accord. Cheap easy and they look awesome. If I could just get her to stay off the curbs with the 20 inch wheels that stick out farther than the tire. But I’m sure you’ll be fine with meatier tires.

    Been thinking about trying these too, mainly because I get to see if I like the look before spending over 1k on rims. That isn't being cheap, it's smart.
    You can also get different colors.

    Spray paint and clear coat. Cheap, and will look better and last longer than stickers or plastidip.

    The stickers will not hold up. If you want black rims, purchase, swap your tires and TPMS and then sell your old wheels to offset some of the cost.

    Absolutely loved my Plasti dip rims, but they were hard to clean. I wouldn't hesitate to try the vinyl inlays. What have you got to lose.

    My neighbor did this on his old Accord - I was skeptical at first but it has held up really well for 3 years or so!
