IMHO, black wheels look very good with black moldings on a white car.

However, playing with these 5.0's since 1997, I recognize that the 92-93 single color cars seemed to be a bit more desireable in general.

I think black molding will look best with your wheel setup. I used to hate the black moldings on foxbodies but now I like it for some reason. Then again, I used to hate 2-tone fox GT's, but now I want one for a DD [Big Grin]

If the car is a 92 or 93, leave the moldings paint matched to the color of the car. Only 87-91s should have the black mouldings. Keep it OG lol

Seeing as how your mouldings need some work anyway, now would be the best time to try and paint them black. Simply because if you don't like it, your not costing yourself any extra money by getting them resprayed white later. It would also compliment your wheel setup, but if you planned to go with a chrome/silver/polished wheel later the black mouldings won't go as well

if it was me, I'd buy new black moldings from 50resto and just sand back/repaint the bumper moldings.
