Our weather here in Indiana get pretty weird as well. I usually put pplasti-dip on the wheels before winter. Make sure to put it on kinda thick 3-4 coats. The more coats you put on the tougher it is and the easier it peels off with your hands.

I'd do the chrome white and the valence black. It'd flow much better. Black bumpers scream "work truck" to me
