Default any pics of gunmetal colored rims on red cars?

Hey everyone,

well i've been thinking of making a change in the wheel department and the c5's are kinda scuffed in a few spots which is bothering me. i'm really starting to like the gunmetal colored rims such as the zr1 and sport max 962s. I love the color on dark blue cars but I'm unsure of what they'll look like on a red car. Can anyone give me some direction?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Got them off EBAY from AFS and they came with some pretty good street tires, as well ... 275/40/17 EVO-Z's, a new tire that Goodyear produces for their subsidiary Kelly Tires. With laser balancing (I think that's what they call it), shipping, and insurance, I got the entire package for $1,242.00 when it was all said and done.

JEB99TA,
They look great. We also have a red car (2001 Z28) and are looking for rims. I think the black on red look is the way to go.
