It's the WRONG TOOL for the job. Redneck it if you must, but if you have enough money to fill the gas tank in your camaro, you have enough money for a cheap harbor freight spray gun.

Didnt the dude painting the plastidip cars use an electric sprayer?
Sure a spray gun isnt expensive.. its the rest of the stuff that makes it expensive.. a good enough compressor, water remover etc adds up. so 30 bucks for a spray gun ends up costing you 300 bucks.

Yeah basically that's the bottom line: big things you need the whole setup, little things you can use rattle cans.
I'm personally impressed with the stuff, and will keep using it in the future, just not on the whole car.
I removed it all yesterday, and it was SUPER easy and clean. Just came off in more or less 1 giant piece. I was expecting it to be a headache, it was piece of cake.

He hit another car while racing on a track, and suddenly the wheels suck?
lol okay. I guess all 6UL's and every single other wheel under the sun sucks too.
My only gripe about these wheels so far is those little indents on the spokes and all the little nooks and crannies make them take a long time to wash/clean.
I'll live

I know what you're saying.
But again, we're talking about actual car to car impact at speed here. It has nothing to do with wheel quality, just not the best design for if you want to play bumper cars and not damage your wheels lol
I don't plan to rub wheels with another car while daily driving
I think Brian summarized it pretty decently:

I think Brian summarized it pretty decently:
Blaming the wheels for running into another car is....creative. Most track day guys don't do that. In our Spec Miata wheels the Team Dynamics brand redesigned their Pro 1 to make it the Pro 1.2/1.3 years ago and the difference was pulling the spokes inward because Spec Miata racers often do rub wheel to wheel....but most other classes don't do that (and many club track events send you home if you do).
If you plan to rub wheels regularly at speed you might want to consider 15x9 949 Racing Wheels, the spokes are a bit more inward...and shipment expected soon.
No, minor curb contacts typical when parking won't do that in our experience with these. Had a few customers with stretched fitments like 205/50 on 15x9 already rub curbs hard and give up some metal and paint shavings but so far only damage we have seen from those incidents is cosmetic,...not total wheel destruction like you did here.
