I was already planning on doing this.

Get wheels w/ a +35 offset and powdercoat the dish red.

Lots of people on here don't like them, there was a thread last year w/ a yellow GTO w. yellow lips and everyone hated on it. I liked it.

I just don't have the money I would like to have to do it.

Definitely need big wheels on it. Although, I may do it w/ a 17f/18r.

I already have a red pinstripe on a black wheel/black TA.

So yeah, I like playing around w/ this stuff.

Looks good, but I wouldn't get the entire lip in red, just the edge.

The car looks really good nothing ricer about it at all. That combo I'm sure would look just as good in yellow, silver, and gold (modern bandit!) would probably look really good.
