Gotta say, looks great with the green pin stripe, not so good with the red...
IMHO,

The black wheels remind me of police cars from years past that had simple black steel rims because the local governments didn't want to spend the money for hubcaps. OR someone had a flat and put their spare on. It just looks cheap in a Nascar kind of way.
But if you like them, then that's all that matters.

It looks good, really. Maybe you could also echo the red for the air-intake grills..?

My preferences, in order:
#1: No stripes
#2: Green stripes
Sorry, but red stripes just don't match the car.
If I were to do mine, I'd go black with no stripes.

No, I actually think it looks good. And it might even work with echoing the red somewhere. But of course, most of us have different taste.

maybe its pics as well.
i told my buddy that i painted them and showed him pics, he didnt like it,.
then i came over and he saw them in real life w the stripes, he was flipping out.
o well...
but you know, your car so do whatever you want. so yea...
i think it would have been way more controversial if i painted the wheels themselves some ridiculous color or something like that, but the stripe can be removed if i get tired of it.
