    Has anyone sprayed their rims with wrinkle paint out of the can and then cleared it? I was just curious to see how it would look.

    I saw the thread on Nasioc but couldn't see the picture.

    If you do it, make sure you don't need your wheels for about 2 weeks or more. Wrinkle paint takes forever to dry, it will be very soft for a long period of time.

    I imagine they would be very tough to clean.

    That too. A painted wheel surface that has been polished smooth and shiny still collects brake dust and road grime. And it's difficult to remove. On a wrinkle wheel, I'd image it was near impossible.

    I would assume so as well.
