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.

That's why some of us are ART DIRECTORS and others are NOT.

maybe a silver stripe around? just a suggestion i dunno how it would look at all so just throwing it out there...i think the red would work better with a black car but thats just my two cents...
my bro has the same color on his car, with the blacked out wheels as well pretty crazy
