Default Hyper Black Ace Wheels on Mag Red

I am looking at fitting the Ace Slick hyper black wheels on a Mag Red C5coupe and was wondering if anyone else has done this as I am unsure if they will suit the colour.
I really want to do the C6Z06 big brake convertion and these are the only wheels I have found that I like and know will work

Any help appreciated

Thanks
Denis

I have some with torch red.....im actually painting them now though, gunmetal. let me know if that helps. Oh and IMO "hyper black" is f**king silver with like black overspray coming from the back. really is retarded.

I thought the hyper black was darker then silver. I also like the new C6 Z06 wheel in grey but they do not do a 19 x 11 wheel for the rear, and not sure if the fitment for a C5 will clear the big brake kit.

Thanks for the offer of torch red but would really like to see them on a mag red, but would be interested to see them after you have re-painted them as that is always an option.

They are a dark silver. Ive seen them in person and they look really nice. Post a pic of your car and I can photochop some on your car for you.

Here are 2 pictures from Fun Fest last year from the SLP booth. They say theirs are gunmetal I believe. I am kicking these around or a set of ZR1 in hyper silver.
