For me I always prefer the all black wheels. Stripes of any sort look ricey and cheap

I am not a fan of black rims, there's no contrast between wheel and tire. So, I'd go with the stripe. It adds some visual interest on the rim. I don't think it will be rice, you don't have untasteful mods now. I'm sure there are pix around of black rim with stripe.

Stripe...I agree it would break up the all black tire/rim. IMO it looks better with wheels on it in pic

If I do keep the stripe, I will paint the calipers red and put the black camaro emblem on there...

On a silver car, silver/chrome Like the wheels in 2JAWZ avatar or all black. The red just seems out of place.

Yep car color stripe would be nice.
Had a red vert with the red stripes, looked good.

I didn't pay much attention apparently. I didn't realize your car was silver. I'd stick with all black or a silver line.

The red is only a 1/4 inch pin stripe from O'Reilly's. I will get silver and compare...

I think I will stick with it for now. Can always peel if off anytime. Calipers are now red and brackets black. Just waiting on my black "camaro" decals...
