I'm guessing it can be done.. but could it be done well?

I'm thinking there would have to be too many pieces joined together to cover a whole wheel?

Am I missing a really obvious "No fucking way" reason to not do them other than the above?

 

Its a total pain in the ass and doesn't last.

 

Fair enough. Having thought about it, if doing more than just the "face" of the wheel, it'd take multiple cuts etc too. So a worthless excercise I guess!

 

i would have thought the heat from the brakes would distort the wrap eventually, then factor in the harsh cleaning regime to keep them prestine with road tar and oil deposits all over them.
seems to be a job i wouldn't attempt.

 

You can have them dipped which at a guess would be better and harder wearin than win wrapped

I've seen a few sets of carbon dipped wheels that look really good

 

plasti dip them
then peel off when bored

That's not a bad attempt

 

sod that would take forever

 

Well they gave it a good attempt! I guess it could be done, full wheel, with 2 pieces. That's not bad going!

 

my missus is good at wrapping the wheels on the kerb

 

dipping it would be the best bet, but id still just powdercoat or paint them

 

cant you buy plasticoate spray paint in the colour you want,
then it will pill off when you want to change it back to original colour,

 

already mentioned that in my post above but it seems they want to waste there time wrapping them to get the same effect.
plasti dip looks good as its piss easy to do and can be easily removed.
