One thing I'll say after using Plasti dip for the first time is that it does not feel as it will last long. Not sure I would ever do it on wheels.
As long as you did it right, it will last a long time. Clean the surface properly before starting (rubbing alcohol). First coat should be kind of light and the others can be thicker but no running drips. I believe I did 4-5 coats in total with 5 mins between each coat. I did the same thing to my old 535xi and the badges lasted for two years no problem (and even longer, don't know because I sold it).
