Default Any one with Weld Rts with black face on Red Trans Am?

I am really thinking about getting the Weld Rts's with the black face but not sure if it would look right on my red firehawk. Anybody has a set on their red treans am? Any suggestions in size, I'm thinking 17/17 instead of 17/15....

Yeah, I saw those. I normally would prefer polished or chrome, but those black faced are catching my eyes..Just not sure how they would look on my red car...

IMO Red cars always look best with a polished/chome/silver wheel. I do not like the red on black look at all. I say just do the polish bro!

I feel the same way, kinda wishing my car was white now, but i love the red so i guess i have to figure out what size would treat me better meaning i will drive it more on the street with light track duty.

Not RTS wheels, but RT rears and Alumastar fronts. You can get an idea how the black looks against the red. I like it!

Not sure what your main priorities are but for front DD's I'd look at these sizes: 17 x 7"(+20 offset), 7.5"(+27 offset), 8"(+33 offset), 8.5"(+39 offset), 9"(+38 or +46 offset), or 9.5"(+39 offset). For the Rear: 17 x 10.5"(+44 offset) , so you can run a 315/35/17 tire w/o any issues.

BTW, I think your car will look Good, with the black wheel centers!

does your car have any black accents like the roof or anything? if there are other things that are black that will accent the black centers i think it will look awesome. although i drive a black car, the red ss and ta with black rims always seem to catch my eye especially with chrome/polished lips. just my opinion though

in that case, i would look around on the forum and see red trans ams with chrome rims vs. black centers and see which look you like better. would debadging come into consideration? i dont think the yellow will play that big of a part in deciding your rims, but getting rid of the yellow on red might make it look better in the first place IMO
