Chrome Wheels Chipping - Plasti Dip Black?
At the moment, I'm unable to upgrade my rims; just bought this Black H3 with chrome trim.
I see a lot of photos of Hummers online and the rims appear to be plasti-dipped black or some rough equivalent.
What's your all's advice on changing these to black? Keep the chrome? Plasti Dip black? I've never dealt with Plasti Dip or anything like that.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My H3 also has chrome trim, I would dip'em in a heart beat if my trim was black. Otherwise it might look a little weird to have black rims with chrome trim unless you dip the trim as well. But if the chipping is really bad then I would say go a head and do it, after all plasti-dip is temporary and not permanent.

my 08 h3 has got really bad peeling of the chrome on the ruff areas of the rims was thinking of grinding the flakes off and patiently painting those areas black with V.H.T. or is there some place that exchanges h3 rims thanks.

I saw rechromed H3 wheels on ebay You send them the old wheels after you install the new ones. My 09 chrome wheels are in great shape & I may replace with an aftermarket Black and polished wheel if I do I will most likely post on here for sale

The main problem with the peeling chrome is it will continue to peel even if you coat it with something. I had the same problem with my 2007. Eventually they will start leaking air. I wound up finding a set of take off rims that someone on this forum had stored in their garage. Before that I was looking at buying a set of OEM replacement rims from Detroit Wheel. They have them in stock.
