unless you're going to remove the tires any time soon, i would just mask off the tires and paint it matte black.
in fact i recommend not using the duplicolor wheel paint and use their engine enamel matte black instead. thing is SUPER STRONG... for example, i painted these fog lamp surround pieces on my dd 3yrs ago. these are plastic bits. to this day even through 3 harsh winters with road salt, etc. there is absolutely zero chips in the paint.
