If you apply it correctly it removes very easily. Many people say its a caper but that's because they didn't apply it right.
If done countless wheels, random items and cars also and can tell you it works perfectly. Depending on the actual product brand you will need a certain minimum number of coats, for example genuine plastidip from cans apply 7 coats total. Ensure the rims are very very clean, use solvent or other specialist cleaner/pre dip. For the first coat make a real light tack coat, then the remaining coats all light but to coverage. It will seem like after 4 or 5 coats it looks great but DONT STOP, do all 7 coats as this is the key to easy peel when it comes time to remove (attempt to save yourself 10 quid here and the whole job will be broken). Don't be tempted to do thick coats, as these may cause runs, especially if you are new at dipping. Make sure the space you are dipping in has a nice temperature and that the cans and the wheel itself are warm (sit the cans in a bucket of hot water - this will help the flow at nozzle greatly). Take your time, plan the job to be dust and moisture free and it works out perfect.
Other products get away with different number of coats, fulldip works with 5 for example.
Nice set of easy to follow instructions there
I did say a thick layer but what I actually meant was more coats. Youve explained it alot better than me haha
That's what I meant too, lots of thin coats to get a thick coat overall.

There is also an LED option too.

As Hodaka said , you need a good thick layer of it so it's easier to peel . You can also get the glossifier so your wheels won't look like cake.

Ballast failing? But unlikely to be both of them or the hid bulbs are on the way out maybe. Could be a bad earth as well.

It's a bit brown for my liking and the rear numbers plate recess looks daft.

Means nothing. You can buy them too if you wanted although they are expensive (JDM yo).
You can buy just the clock faces with Nismo on too.

That's awful. trapped in a burning car, my worst nightmare.

I'd say it's not a Nismo just had bits stuck on it.

Bradders had a set of cheap rays for sale, not sure if he's still got them.

I reverse onto wooden blocks to get enough height to use a trolley jack when I'm doing maintenance. Not sure what I'd do if I had a puncture.
