I know very little about plasti-dip. Do you know if its made for the kind of abuse that its going to see on a wheel? Small dirt and such always peppering it as you're driving down the road. Plus brake dust. The plasti dip that I remember, was originally being sold to fix fishing poles lol. You'd just thread around the break very tightly, then brush on a little plasti dip.

Paint from a rattle can is much easier to use when it comes to touch-ups. Try that w/plasti-dip once it peels (& it will somewhere w/o proper prep).
Get the wheels blasted if it's in your budget (with or w/o tires mounted).
Thoroughly degrease the surface.
A couple of light coats of paint (heavy/thick coats will crack).
To keep paint off the tires, wipe them down w/a pad soaked in some armor-all (overspray/paint won't stick to armor-all). You can just wipe them off again....
