If taken care of it will last months. I plasti-dipped my last cars wheels and they lasted about a year before they started peeling. And they started peeling because I took a pressure washer to them up close.
Another pointer is when they are dirty add some Armor-All to them and they will look just as new as when you first sprayed them.

I tried this with my truck before. It didn't work. I primed and painted. In order for it to stay your gonna have to sand it.

I've never used plasti dip before on wheels but I generally won't paint wheels myself due to the abuse they take. It never lasts. I always get wheels professionally painted. That's just me though.
