Mine too. I find 3-4 coats per wheel looks best.

There's been lots of dips on here.. here's another example...



It's a great alternative to new rims and paint and is fairly cheap.

EDIT: Also, be sure to put it on lightly at first, then heavy, you'll thank yourself if you ever want to remove it!

As others have said, a light coat first is very beneficial for removal. By light i mean 50% or less covering. Then 2 medium coats and a final heavy coat
