Thank you everyone. I did a lot of research about plasti dip before I did my rims. From what I saw its pretty durable stuff. I watched a video on youtube where a guy took a power washer to the rims with Plasti dip on them. He was inches away with the high powered nozzle and it did NOT chip, scuff or mess up the Plasti dip in any way.
On my 2010, I had them plastidipped in matte black. It looked great when clean especially when I applied tire shine on it! But they were getting dirty very fast.
If it is well applied, it is durable. Actually, when I wanted to remove it after 2-3 months, it took at least one hour per rim because the plastidip cooked on the mags.
It is a cheap option and non-permanent. For twice the price, I had them sandpapered and repaired, painted with three coats of tuxedo black, two coats of clear and baked 2 times. I think it looks much better. Depends on the budget but if you can pay the extra 250$, you won't regret.
As for rock chips on dip, if you inspect yoir wheels frequently and notice a chip, you can apply a few drops of dip and let it expand and dry... Repeat 3-4 coats and it will melt in place and won't be noticeable...
Good luck!
