Default Red T/A with black wheels?

I am thinking about doing the red and black thing. Common, I know, but my car is red, so Ill live with it. I can't decide on what wheel I want, so please post some pics if you have them. Thanks

I have seen those HP Evos in black and the silver on a red car and the Silver was stunning (NineBall's 02 Ss), in the last poster's defense though, I think if he had better side shots that might skew the decision, but those are all good choices. IMHO

Thanks for posting. Good looking T/A. One other question, is there a site sponsor that is a dealer for Fikse? I would really like to get a hold of a set of FM 10's in the race black finish.

a while back i put on my neighbors ZR1s off his vette just to see how black wheels looked.... Looked decent, with a drop it would look even nicer.

There was a guy on here who had a red T/A with black C6's with the polished lip. Looked COMPLETELY badass.

I'm not a fan of the ZR1's, and DEF not a fan of C5 Z's, but that's just my opinion.

It doesn't matter what wheel you pick, they will all look the same because they're black. IMO, it makes the car look cheap and IMO it looks ugly and like the car is always dirty. Now if you had a thirdgen, the diamond spoke wheels look badass because they actually have "lip"...

I would have to agree with you 100%, black wheels do make any car look cheap. Rims should add appeal to a car not take from it, its almost as if black wheels suck the life from the car.

As long as they're the RIGHT black wheels!
