Redlines

Please post your pics of C3's with redline tires...am debating on getting a set. Will go on Torque Thrust II's with gray centers and polished rims. TIA

I think they'll look GOOD on your red car. I think they look GREAT on black cars and silver cars.
Only opinion, no picture, sorry!
What size tires have you found Red-Lines in?

Was it originally Pewter Silver?

I'm not sure about the redline on a custom wheel... I'd have to see it. I do like them better on a silver car than red. What color is the interior?

A redline tire will look great with the silver car. I was never a fan of redlines on a red car....it looks OK. But, on white, black, green, silver or gold the redlines look great.
