Default Mag Red / Black Wheels?

I know that Torch Red cars look good with the black wheels, as well as silver cars, and yellow cars, and so on. I have a Mag Red coupe and my son always tells me to put the Black rims with the Chrome lips on the car. I can not say that I have ever seen a Mag Red car with Black rims... Anyone out there know of any or have pics...If so lets see them!

I imagine it won't look bad on a mag red either. Mainly you just have to find a good looking wheel that looks good period on the car, if it had black spokes then it will be in the eye of the beholder.

I've seen black rims on a brugandy colored car, and thought it was horrible. IMO of course, and coming from someone who runs black wheels on different cars. I would not do it to my Mag. Red. Chrome, polished or plain silver yes.
