Red wheels?
Has anyone ever considered painting their stock (or ?) wheels the color of their car. I have a torch red coupe and I am considering painting the wheels red also. I would like to know if anyone has any pics of how this would look 
. Please post some pics if you have them! 
Thanks
Rob

plus he also had the calipers the same colour of the car, it was just to much.It is his car and he liked it so thats all that counts

I've seen Black wheels on a black car and white wheels on a white car. They looked pretty good. But I don't think red on red would look very good. My.02

My 98 Sebring Silver came with silver painted wagon wheels,very close to body color. Its OK, but polished ones do look much better, So would black with polished rims...I think.....???
Eventually I'll get wider tires and wheels, so I have time to find the ones I really like.
red on red is not what I would have expected, its better than I would have guessed, kinda cool, especially with chrome lugs added.

Remember in 92 when you could get the Pontiac Bonneville with body color wheels. It was ugly then, and its ugly now. Do what makes you happy, its your car! With a Red car I would consider Black wheels with a chrome lip.

Personally, I think the black with a machined lip or chrome would look great on a red car, but its your ride so do what makes you happy.
