Wheels: Version A or B?

Hey Guys....

I got bored this weekend and plasti dip'd my wheels. In case your not familiar with plasti dip, it goes on just like spray paint, except when it dries it can be removed very easily, much like a layer of latex!! You can literally spray it down the side of a vehicle and rub it off with ease, certainly a good prank toy....

Anyways, the whole process took me less than 3 hours to paint all 4 wheels, and if I get tired of the color(I WILL), peeling of the plasti dip would take all of 10 minutes to remove. Honestly, I like it both ways, just mixing it up to keep it fresh until new mods arrive.

So which do you prefer, version A or B?
(btw, these wheels will likely be replaced soon)

Looks like a good way to change up the look of a vehicle for the weekend.

frenchblue72, That's exactly what I said, NOTHING makes a bigger impact on a vehicles overall appearance more than wheels.
