Red rims

Ok so what do you think of having some red rims. Think it looks ok or not.
I found this car on ebay and they look good.

Also how about red zr1s. I saw them on a 58 vette. Thats also red.
And I like it. Heres the pic. Look in the left side you can make it out.

I am not used to seeing red wheels so it's hard for me to say if it looks good or bad. It's different. Maybe if I saw them in person to persuade me.

I don't think it looks all that great. The resto-rod can get away with a lot of styling changes, especially when it is a complete rebuild with significant styling modifications. When you slap on a set of red wheels to a stock TA otherwise, I think it looks cheezy. Something tells me the resto-rod's wheels aren't hi-gloss red either. You might be able to pull off some kind of 'performance' looking flat/burnt red...but now I am just picturing honda's. I advise against any red wheels

I'm not a fan of "colors". Don't like the red at all. My thoughts though...it's whatever floats your boat.

Well I knew some will say ok and others no way. There is black on black and white on white. So why not red on red. How about just painting the spokes themselves red.

I think that looks pretty good. I like how they left the chrome lip too.

I remember seeing this car with red wheels at Schwartz Extreme Performance too.

I don't like it.. but having just dealt with a "do I like these wheels" thing, I realized, either I like it or a don't.. No need to try and talk yourself into it..

If you have to ask, you probably don't like them..
