These pics were take a month ago when my wheels were painted dark silver. I recently repainted them to satin black, so I'll get some new pics soon. For now, enjoy and hopefully you get the idea of how it looks.

Hychko,

Painted them myself with Dupli-color wheel paint in Satin Racing Black.

svtcobrakid,

Took my moldings off a week after I bought my 01 Z06 a month and a half ago. The car had 22K miles on it and over 3 years old when I bough it, but the paint is fine underneath the moldings. No discoloration at all. I say GO FOR IT!

I used the fishing line method and sprayed WD40 while sawing away the glue. Do a search. Lots of info here.
