I think with the sexy red vette you would end up wanting some contrast in the wheel wells. Might be too much red. Know what i mean. If the centers were carbon fiber with thin red pinstripe around the barrel and the spokes weren't so big and blocky,,, that would be hawt!

Here. Like Andy's old Vette

Having said all that James. If you really dig them, you gotta get 'em!

They're too busy for my taste. There's too much going on that draws attention away from the car itself.
