I guess I'm old school, I like chrome wheels on all cars. I always said the wheels make the car. Chrome does it for me.

I like the look! I think you should add some red somehow to the center cap.

I do too but you have to admit, those are the best looking wagon wheels ever posted on this forum, including the chrome ones. For someone on a serious budget, they would make a sweet upgrade from regular wagon wheels.

Thats actually a photoshop but I got the idea to do it a while back. Windows are tinted to below 10%. You just cant see it becuase the sun is hitting it perfect

Maybe also find some more red to make it flow...like a Jake or fender stripes.

try some red grandsport fender hash's and maybe go with some chrome or silver lugs to break up the wheels just a little. Other than that it looks awsome. Never been a huge fan of wagon whells but that looks great...

That is the best look I've seen for wagon wheels. I generally prefer chrome wheels but yours look much better than chrome wagon wheels in my opinion.
