It's the red on the black that is going to make your car look awesome.

I am thinking the red stripe will make the calipers pop. The gray ones would match my top and CF ground effects nicely though.

I'm a chrome guy but the gray spiders (I think) would be great on your car.

Bro, your wheels make those wheels look like ****. They gray wheels are just dull and the black are ok without the fat assed red stripe. Stick with your wheels, if needed powdercoat your wheels completely black.
