Looks very good, although you probably should have removed the tape weights from the wheels before spraying them. When the wheel shop balances your new tires and rips those off, it might not looks so great.

I took the plasti dip off (the rims). And you were right about removing the weights before...

I hate chrome and was planing on plasti-dipping the only pieces of chrome that I have left which happen to be the pony in front and the fake deck lid gas cap.

I haven't worked with plasti-dip so can I remove it if I mess up and what are some tips you could give because yours look pretty good?

Just clean the surface and spray. Make sure to tape off whatever you don't want overspray on because it's a pain to get off. I put on 3 coats on the emblems and 4 on the wheels. And it just peels right off mess free with no residue. As long as you have solid coats on it comes right off easy and quick. (I took the plasti dip off my rims in a parking lot lol)
