Black Rims?

Could I pull black rims off on my car? I photoshopped them in to the pic.

I definitely think you can pull black on that car. I would find a wheel design you really like in black, and go from there. The ZO6's look pretty good though...

to be honest

no.

too much contrast to be honest. maybe if htey were deep dish and had more polished lip to them they would work. those just make your car look sorta cheap.

I don't know about the whole "cheap" idea expressed here; but personally, any bright colored car can pull off black as long as the theme is not full of chrome/polish accents. Brighter paints show and stand out better when NOT overwhelmed by chrome (leave chrome for the darker cars

) and do black on yours!!!

Something like the ones on my car? If you can, you can try photoshopping these in.

my wheels have a machined lip, but they are also sold with a chrome lip. I got them with the machined lip to break up all of the black. Im interested to see the wheels on a red car.

these wheels looks awesome, i would go with a design like this guy has, imho im not a fan of the black z06's but if you like em that's what matters, red and black always go great together (i know from experience...)
