I just saw this and if it holds up will be cool. Has anyone tried it? I got a white Mustang and would like white wheels if the color matches.

If it is a vinyl that is designed for high heat applications, like the brake caliper wrap material, it should hold up fine. Powder coat or paint would be best, but the vinyl might work ok. What are you thinking about? There were no pics to go off of.

The guy I go to for wrapping advised me against wrapping rims.
Apparently it is a real pain to apply it well and it tends to peel off real easy and fast by just driving.
From how I understood it that is mostly because of the heating/cooling from the breaks and it be a high moving part.
I have no first hand experience myself, just relaying what I was told.
That said you can still wrap them, just keep in mind that it might not hold as long as you would like/think.

That would indeed be a spray paint.
pretty easy to do your self to save some $, cleaning, scuffing and good paint are key here though otherwise it will just as easy flake off as you spray it on
Powder-coat would be your premium option and most costly as well.
Vinyl wrap will be your most budget option but has to much drawbacks from the way I understand it.
Spray painting would be the best middle ground and when done with care a real durable option as well (either done yourself or by a pro painter).

Yes, paint. it is all in the prep. and that cost nothing but elbow grease and time. And easy to touch up if needed.
Paint only flakes off if you didn't clean, scuff them and rushed that, it is all in the prep.
