    exactly. It got so copied that it became trite. lots of wheels out there with only the edge of the wheel painted red because it was the only part that showed with the wheel cover in place. Black wheels were done only to be different from the red wheels. I bet if you went through my model car parts box every wheel will be red.

    I don't know if it will look right, but i think there is some law that will then require you to paint the car satin black. You might want to check your local laws.

    Seriously though, it only has to look right to YOU. The rest of us don't matter.

    Your car looks good the way it is. No real reason to improve what u got. Looks clean.
    I on the other hand am going with red rims with wide whites and maybe a nice caddy hubcap.
