Man I love those rims...Can you wash the painted wheels without peeling off?

Thanks!

I've washed my car about 8 times since application. No peeling on the wheels. I use a soft cotton terry cloth towel to wash them with car wash soapy water. No brushes or harsh chemicals touch my wheels! Who knows what would happen should a car wash get their hands on my wheels and I'm not going to take that chance. I am getting new tires next week (Muellerized FTW). I'll report back how the wheels look after dismount/mounting of new tires.

So a little update on this. Back in late December when I had new tires put on, it was impossible to get the tires off without a bit of the plasti-dip coming off around the lip of the wheel. Touch up didn't exactly go as planned either. So in the long run, matte black paint probably would have been better. Either way, the process for matte black spray paint would be just about the same.
