Default Whoring new wheels

Finally got my wheels back from paint and tires mounted and throw on this morning. wanted to stay away from black and go polished but one of the wheels was in rough shape so I ended up spraying them in a black pearl Chrysler color. I want to remove the moulding but the paint has been touched up and I'm worried about what's under it. Pinstripes are getting pulled next month when it goes in to the body shop for the rusted rear quarter. Let me know what you guys think. I'm very happy with how it tuned out.

Thanks guys. I've seen a few in black but only on black tahoes. Truck is trashed in these. I think it looks better dirty honesty. Whoever did the paint work on it should be shot. I'm super picky though. Hopefully I'm just overthinking the moldings and they come off clean.

I'd leave the moldings personally and do painted handles and mirrors.

I have a case of plasti dip I got hooked up with awhile back I only ended up using a little bit for some Harley parts I could only find in chrome. Throught about spraying that moulding black and seeing how that looked too if the paints ducked up underneath. I would like to get some color matching done when it goes in for the quarter though.

I like body molding but it has to be painted IMO!
